                                                       QUALIFIER

Huddesfield over the last few seasons have enjoyed a very successful period, league shield winners in 2013 they are use to big games. This season  they have struggled both on and off the field and now they find themselves in the battle in the middle 8s

Huddesfield were not always a championship wining team and have been involved in relegation battles before, as a club this will help but Salford will be keen on putting in a good performance and beating the giants in this encounter.
