Match Tickets Weather Directions
Warrington Wolves will be hoping to make it a real Easter to remember when bottom of the table Huddersfield Giants come to town on Monday. Warrington go into the match on the back of the 34-32 away victory to Salford, whilst Huddersfield also go into the match on the back of a victory against inform Wakefield Trinity Wildcats winning by an impressive 56-12 at the Galpharm Stadium, Huddesfield.
Warrington will be hoping to make it 3 wins out fo 4 against the Giants at The Halliwell Jones Stadium, with the Wolves winning in 2005 an 2006 but the Giants shocking the Wolves winning 20-26 in the Giants first ever visit to The Halliwell Jones Stadium in 2004.
Warrington Wolves will be with Ben Westwood for the match, along with Adrian Morley, Simon Grix, Paul Johnson, Paul Wood, Michael Sullivan, Rob Paker, and Chris Liekvoll who are all still on the sidelines unavailable and i am sure the medical staff at The Halliwell Jones Stadium will no doubt love to be on a commission based salary after the amount of injuries so far in 2007.
