The GIANTS could be bolstered by the return of three key figures for this Friday’s huge Sydney Derby at ENGIE Stadium. 

Jesse Hogan and Josh Kelly both missed last Thursday’s primetime game against the Bombers, with the club opting to manage the experienced duo due to the short five-day turnaround. 

Star defender, Sam Taylor, is also expected to return for the spicy showdown, after missing the last four games with a broken toe.

The trio will need to get through Wednesday’s main training to prove their readiness for Friday’s match. 

Brent Daniels will continue to increase his training, with advancements in running patterns and kicking. 

Meanwhile, Wade Derksen will miss the remainder of the season with the defender set to undergo surgery on his toe this week. 

The GIANTS will take on the Swans in the 31st edition of the Sydney Derby on Friday night.
