Head Coach, Paul Rowley has had to make some enforced changes to his 21-man squad for this weekend’s clash with Huddersfield Giants.
The Reds are looking to get back to winning ways after a disappointing outing at Magic Weekend, where we missed an opportunity to climb into fourth.
That alongside a golden point defeat to St Helens a week prior, the team know this game has an added significance as the race for playoff rugby intensifies.

One of the aforementioned changes is forced by a collision midway through the first-half at Magic Weekend. Back-rower, Sam Stone was on the receiving end and failed his subsequent HIA, meaning he sits out this week due to concussion protocols.
Our Head Coach has also had to contend with two suspensions arising from that game; both Ollie Partington and Tim Lafai received one-match bans from the Match Review Panel.
That means there’s space in the 21 for Ben Hellewell, who has had a tough season through injury, but recently signed a one-year extension to keep him at the Club until the end of 2025.
Cade Cust and Nathan Connell are the other two additions this week.
