Huddersfield are on a two-match losing streak, having lost to both Salford and Hull FC – though the margin across both games was only ten points. Those defeats ended any hopes of a top-four spot, though they do still occupy seventh in the table. That’s more than what can be said for Wakefield whose ten-match losing run stretches back to March, leaving them rock bottom.
