May 17 2008 by Chris Roberts, Huddersfield Daily Examiner

CHRIS THORMAN will return for the Giants at home to Hull KR tomorrow (3.00).

The Giants captain has been named in his side’s 19-man squad for the weekend Super League clash and is certain to play.

He has missed the last two senior games with a dead leg, but after coming through a Reserve fixture at Bradford unscathed a week ago he is ready to lead the side tomorrow as they bid to get their League campaign back on the winning track.

Giants: Thorman, Aspinwall, Elford, Whatuira, Brown, Robinson, Crabtree, Skandalis, Raleigh, Jones, Jackson, Mason, Snitch, Griffin, Hudson, Hemingway, Cudjoe, Lawrence, Kirmond.

Hull KR: Cooke, Briscoe, Fox, Walker, Webster, Fitzhenry, Gene, Watts, Cockayne, Crossman, Chester, Vella, Fisher, Lovegrove, Aizue, Netherton, Newton, Murrell, Mills.

Referee: Ian Smith.

Meanwhile, the Galpharm Stadium superstore is expecting to do brisk trade ahead of the Hull KR game tomorrow.

The Giants have just announced they are holding a mid-season sale, with savings of up to 70% on some items.

The superstore is opening at 11am until kick-off
