Huddersfield Giants v Leigh Leopards News
Whenever the Huddersfield Giants take on the Leigh Leopards, it is a match that could easily be either a match of the round contender or a struggle for both throughout.
That is because of the position both clubs find themselves in where they have plenty of quality but lack the depth of the top clubs so if they can keep their players healthy, they can easily build form and confidence.
On the flip side of that, if they lose a couple of key stars, form and confidence can drop and that makes keeping up with all of the news in the build up to the game so important for fans.

Stadium
The match takes place at the impressive Kirklees Stadium in Huddersfield, which is also known to many as either the John Smith’s Stadium or the Galpharm Stadium, due to sponsorship reasons.
It is one of the easiest stadiums to recognise in British Rugby League thanks to its sweeping roofs and also the fact that it has hosted so many big matches.
Not only has it played host to big games for the Giants, but it has also proven a popular ground for Challenge Cup semi-finals and international test matches including those featuring England or Great Britain and also as a neutral venue for games at the Rugby League World Cup when hosted in the UK.
The stadium is made up of four separate all-seater stands, with 2 been two tier and two been single tier and there are also two stands with corporate facilities.
That all comes together for a capacity of around 24,000 when full and whilst it likely won’t be packed out for match up such as this one, there will be a healthy crowd in attendance and plenty of vocal support for both sets of players.
Location
The match takes place in the West Yorkshire town of Huddersfield, which is a fitting location for a matchup such as this one as it is the town where the sport of Rugby League was established.
At the town George Hotel way back in 1895, the chairman of many northern based Rugby clubs met to decide to break away from the RFU and to form a breakaway code known as the Northern Union, which is now the great sport of Rugby League.
The town is located almost centrally along the M62 motorway, which is often thought of as the sport’s traditional heartland in the north of England.
About
Although this is a traditional Yorkshire vs Lancashire match up, there is certainly no derby element to the game.
