Giants v Hull KR: Teams

Huddersfield will be looking for a second straight Super League win when they face Hull KR on Friday.

The Giants made a bright start to the current season before stuttering to three straight league defeats against tough opposition in May.

However, Huddersfield's performances in recent weeks have been more encouraging and they head into Friday's contest on the back of an impressive victory over high-flying Hull FC.

Coach Nathan Brown has urged his squad to maintain the standard they set in that clash against Rovers on Friday.

"The key thing for us now is consistency in our performances," he told the Giants' official website.

Dominant

"Against Hull FC on Sunday we had a period where we were very dominant so if we can maintain that for long periods and get everyone on the same page for a long period of time, then we know we can give ourselves a good shot.

Huddersfield have been clear winners in the previous two meetings between the sides this campaign but Brown is not taking a third victory for granted.

He added: "Hull KR are in the same boat as us this week with the short turnaround so it should be an interesting game, they had a bit of a hurdle a while ago but they seem to have got over that and they are playing some good football now.

"We would expect it to be a hard game; we can go into the game with confidence due to the fact we have gone well against them in recent times."

Brown has named an unchanged squad for the contest, meaning Eorl Crabtree (ankle), David Fa'alogo (hamstring) and Jermaine McGillvray (concussion) will not make returns.

Record

Former St Helens forward Lee Gilmour is set to make his 400th career appearance while winger David Hodgson needs to cross the try-line once to beat Brandon Costin's Huddersfield record tally for tries in a Super League season.

Rovers boss Justin Morgan also sticks with the same squad that hammered Harlequins 42-6 last Sunday.

Winger Liam Colbon is still sidelined, meaning Frankie Mariano keeps his place in the squad, although the youngster is unlikely to feature.

Hull KR will be level on points with Huddersfield in the Super League table if they manage a win at the Galpharm Stadium.
