Huddersfield Giants v St Helens Preview
The Huddersfield Giants welcome the Saints of St Helens from Merseyside to West Yorkshire for a game that could easily be a must watch for both sets of fans.
The Huddersfield Giants are one of those teams who have lots of quality throughout, including many internationals and some good youngsters but they struggle with the consistency needed to be constantly challenging for titles and trophies.
That does mean that on their day they can be a challenge for anybody including the top teams, which St Helens certainly are.
The Red Vee have quality in every position and great strength in depth so it is no surprise that they are a club constantly challenging for silverware and they are also a team that every club ups there game for.
With the quality of the Giants that should lead to a fantastic 80 minutes of entertainment and if they can perform at their best for the full 80 minutes, they have enough to take on and defeat Saints and that could be just the confidence boost they need to really kick on their season.

Stadium
The John Smiths Stadium is home to the Huddersfield Giants and is host to this game against St Helens. The ground is a large, modern all seater stadium that when full or when internationals are played there can be up there as one of the most atmospheric in the sport but far too often for Giants games it loses any atmosphere built.
For big matches however, such as this one, it is a great place to watch the sport with every seat having a good view.
