Huddersfield Giants will find out their full fixture list for the Middle 8s on Wednesday.

New coach Rick Stone already knows the Giants start from scratch in their bid to retain Super League status.

The Giants will face Kingstone Press Championship duo Featherstone and London Broncos at the John Smith’s Stadium, along with their fellow Super League strugglers Leeds Rhinos.

Stone’s side have away trips to Super League Salford and Hull KR as a result of finishing bottom of the Super League table after 23 rounds.

And they must also travel to part-timers Batley, under former coach John Kear, and Leigh Centurions, who finished top of the Championship and will be a difficult proposition on their own patch.

Dates for those matches will be confirmed on Wednesday, with Stone already warning his side they will have to be mentally tougher than they have been to make the top three in the new eight-team league (starting from scratch, no points carried over), which would guarantee Super League survival and avoid the dreaded million pound game, played by the teams finishing fourth and fifth.
