Huddersfield v Wakefield (Sun)

Luke Robinson will switch from hooker to half-back and share the captaincy with David Faiumu in the absence of Huddersfield skipper Kevin Brown.

Brown is rested along with Lee Gilmour, David Hodgson and Eorl Crabtree as part of Nathan Brown’s rotation policy.

Darrell Griffin, Shaun Lunt, Graeme Horne, Jamie Simpson, Joe Wardle and Jon Molloy all return for Wakefield.

The Wildcats will give debuts to new signings Liam Higgins and on-loan Warrington forward Tyrone McCarthy.

Coach John Kear has also called up reserve player Chris Annakin to his 19-man squad.

Wakefield have lost their last four Super League meetings with Huddersfield, three of which have ended with the Giants topping 50 points.

Huddersfield coach Nathan Brown told BBC Radio Leeds:

“Regardless of administration, players getting taken, not spending up near the cap, John Kear never whinges.

“He knuckles down and his players seem to perform for him. I really admire the way he goes about his business.

“The biggest thing for us this week is to show them the respect they deserve.

“We need to get out there and do the things we do really well and try to come away with a good result.”

Wakefield coach John Kear told BBC Radio Leeds:

“We know we have to improve drastically in order to compete with them. They are a really good team, they’re in good nick, they’re playing some good rugby and we know they’ll be fired up.

“We’ve improved week on week. and I’m really pleased how our young players are developing but this is going to be a big test.

“Huddersfield and Warrington are going to break up the cartel of your Leeds and Saints, who have been dominating the competition.”
