Huddersfield v Salford: Giants boosted by Theo Fages return

Huddersfield have been boosted by the return of star half-back Theo Fages for Sunday’s clash against his former club Salford.

The France international is back for the Giants after serving his suspension. Ireland international Ollie Roberts is in Ian Watson’s side for the first time in 2022.

Huddersfield hooker Adam O’Brien is set to make his 100th appearance in claret and gold.

Meanwhile, Salford will be without centre Dan Sarginson, who is facing a lengthy lay-off. Matt Costello or Deon Cross could replace him in the centre spot.

Red Devils hooker Andy Ackers will make his 200th career appearance if he plays at the John Smith’s Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
