Giants Beat Wigan in Cup Final Dress Rehearsal
In a dress rehearsal for the Challenge Cup final, the two sides who win through their semi-finals last weekend were pitted against one another in Round Twelve of Super League as the Huddersfield Giants played hosts to the Wigan Warriors but with both sides making many changes to their line-ups, neither wanted to give any advantage to their opponents.
The two points were the main concern with a win for the Warriors putting them two points clear at the top of the table and should the Giants take the spoils then they would be up to fourth just three points adrift of the top two sides.
Both coaches made many changes from last weekend´s sides, the Giants without Cudjoe, McQueen, Yates, Hill and McGillvary amongst others while Wigan made a whole host of changes with Field, Marshall, Cust, Farrell, Bateman, and Smithies amongst those missing from the side who overcame Saints last weekend.

Can't believe they were still in it at the end, we should have been miles clear on the overall performance. Thought Fages and Lolohea were immense in making the big plays when it counted. How good are Wilson, Trout and English as young prop forwards!?! We have an abundance of talent in the pack and it really showed today. Leutele is a real handful, dangerous everytime he gets the ball. Great position to be in now, few injuries, rested older players and Toulouse next week!

It wasn’t really a dress rehearsal though was it with both sides resting key players. At least 8 from each side. But a good two points on the board to keep us up the table.
