YORK KNIGHTS head coach Mark Applegarth has made just one change from the squad that went down last weekend to Toulouse Olympique.
That change sees Kieran Hudson take Jesse Dee’s place in the squad.
Meanwhile, Huddersfield Giants head coach Jim Lenihan has included Chris Patolo after the forward completed a successful return to play protocol from a head knock.
Taane Milne, Tristan Powell and Tanguy Zenon are all out for the Giants, with Archie Sykes and Logan Blacker recalled.
