Huddersfield coach Paul Anderson has fired his players up ahead of Friday’s Super League clash with Salford at the AJ Bell Stadium.

Giants forward Brett Ferres suffered a serious ankle injury during the previous meeting between the two sides at the John Smith’s Stadium on Good Friday and Anderson is still unhappy over the incident.

England international Ferres, 29, was sidelined for three months following a "cannonball" tackle by Salford stand-off Rangi Chase during the Red Devils' 18-12 win.

Chase will not be playing in Friday's Sky Live rematch after being handed a seven-game suspension for the illegal tackle but that has not prevented Anderson, who had called for the Rugby Football League to "throw the book" at the Salford player, seeking atonement.

"We owe them one - it's as simple as that," Anderson said. "I've still got an international forward not playing because of some of the cheap shots they did that night.

"My opinion over the incident hasn't changed between then and now and we've got to make sure we're good physically."
