Stats
Taane Milne is enjoying a rich vein of form, topping the Super League offload charts with 38, 9 ahead of the nearest player in Tristan Sailor, with Tristan Powell 3rd in the top tackler charts, the ever present Aussie loose forward has proved a popular player in the Claret and Gold, and he is repaying the faith in his Head Coach, only beaten by Brendan Hands and Brad O'Neill, for Toulouse and Wigan respectively.
York Knights
Our opposition will be Mark Applegarth’s York Knights on Saturday in what could be a close encounter, York coming off the back of a win, and the Giants running Wakefield close last time out. Players such as Paul Vaughan, Ata Hingano and Paul Mcshane are just three of York's key men, and will look to claim York two points in their first ever magic.
