Preview:
Huddersfield v Hull (Round 9)

Hull seek to end their three-match losing run when they take on Huddersfield at the Galpharm Stadium, where the Giants? second rower Paul Smith has more reason than most to shine.

?It makes it extra special when you play against your home-town club,? said Smith.

?I was born and bred in Hull and grew us as a Hull KR fan - all my family are red and white and are wanting the team to do well against FC.

?I also have a few friends who are big FC fans as well, so it could be an interesting one.?
