Rhinos hit back to beat Giants by a single point - through a Luke Gale drop goal - in both last season's encounters.

Tigers faced Trinity just once, winning 32-15 at the Jungle.

Because of current Covid restrictions, traditional Easter match-ups have been moved later in the season when it is hoped fans will be allowed into stadiums.
