John Cartwright has named his match day squad for our Magic Weekend clash against Huddersfield Giants, in association with Jadan Press.
The Black & Whites take on the Giants at St James’ Park in the opening game of today’s action in the North East, hoping to make it three wins in a row at the home of Newcastle United.
Cartwright has made two changes to the squad that lined up against Wigan Warriors last weekend, with Jordan Rapana recovering from a minor groin injury to start in the centres, while Sam Eseh is recalled to the bench.
The pair replace Matty Laidlaw and Denive Balmforth.
Ligi Sao (knee), Jed Cartwright (hamstring), Jordan Lane (arm), Oliver Holmes (knee), Brad Fash (calf), Ryan Westerman (ankle) and, Liam Watts (calf) all remain sidelined for the Black & Whites.
