HUDDERSFIELD Giants head to Castleford on Sunday (1.00) knowing a win followed by success at home to Salford a week later could earn them a top-three three finish in the Junior Academy Championship.

That would give them more of a chance of reaching the Grand Final in the end-of-season play-offs and provide further proof of the strength of the Giants' development system.

Coach Chris Plume has a strong squad at his disposal, with all eyes on the performance of Simon George, who this week celebrated the signing of his Super League contract for 2006.

Giants: Cudjoe; Heeley, L George, Martin, Johnson; Hemingway, Mennell; Perry, Proctor, Lawson, Donlan, Williams, S George. Subs (from): Flaherty, Valentine, Gee, Dobbs, Young, Garside.
