Giants v Reds: Teams

Raleigh: part of new-look Giants squad

Huddersfield Giants coach Nathan Brown has responded to his side's defeat to Crusaders by ringing the changes for Tuesday's fixture with Salford City Reds.

The Giants are level on points in second place of the engage Super League alongside Warrington and Wigan, but went down 32-6 against Crusaders on Good Friday.

Winger David Hodgson, centre Joe Wardle, prop Andy Raleigh and second row pair Luke O'Donnell and Dale Ferguson return at the expense of Jamie Simpson, Luke Robinson, Larne Patrick, Graeme Horne and Lee Gilmour.

And there also places in the Giants' 19-strong squad for Kyle Wood and Jamie Cording, who have each made just one substitute appearance so far this year.

Salford, meanwhile, are without former Huddersfield centre or second rower Chris Nero as they look to bounce back from a 60-0 mauling against Warrington last time out.

They have bulked up their pack for the trip to the Galpharm Stadium with the addition of front-row forwards Iafeta Paleaaesina, Lee Jewitt and Jack Spencer.

Prop forward Eorl Crabtree welcomes the return of Australian O'Donnell, whom he believes does not receive the recognition he deserves.

"He's fantastic, definitely a leader in the sense that he rips the ball in and

tackles all day," he said of O'Donnell, a close-season signing from North Queensland Cowboys.

"He's as hard as nails, the sort of person we needed in our team. He adds a

new dimension because of all the hard work he does.

"Sometimes people won't see what he's doing for us but honestly all the lads

know what he's doing."
