Salford Red Devils Head Coach, Paul Rowley, has announced his 21-man squad for this Friday’s clash against Huddersfield Giants. After a tough and painful defeat in Perpignan, the mighty Red Devils are eager to bounce back against a Giants team aiming to revive their playoff hopes following the sacking of head coach Ian Watson after a run of just one win in eight Super League games.
Watson spent six years with Salford before he left to take over the Giants in November 2020 and signed a new four-year deal in July 2022.
