A Giant setback for Huddersfield

Mar 7 2009 Huddersfield Daily Examiner

“Errors were obviously crucial in this defeat, but it was how there was no will and resolve to hold Hull out that the really hurt.

“Hull were quicker, ran harder and tackled harder – all the qualities I had hoped to see from my team.”

As well as losing the game, Brown is also facing headache on injury front. The biggest worry is second rower Andy Raleigh who is having checks on a possible compound fracture of the hand.

Winger Martin Aspinwall is also an early doubt for next Saturday’s trip to Castleford with a calf injury.

However, a bonus for the Giants was a crowd of 10,459, their second consecutive five figure attendance – the first time this has happened in the Super League era.
