Injury trouble has forced Head Coach, Paul Rowley to reshuffle his team ahead of tonight’s Betfred Super League clash with Huddersfield Giants.
One major positive is the return of Joe Shorrocks after serving his three-match suspension. He slots in at loose forward, with Harvey Wilson retaining his place in the back row.
Chris Hankinson’s shoulder injury, although not as serious as first feared, rules him out for this one and moves Kallum Watkins into centre – a role he nailed across the 2022 season.
Another notable inclusion is Nathan Connell; a young player who earned his first professional contract this season and will be looking to impress this evening.
