Castleford legend Craig Huby insists Thursday’s Super League clash at the John Smith’s Stadium is ‘just another game’.
The 28-year-old prop spent 11 seasons with the Tigers before moving to the Giants for the start of the 2015 campaign.
Tomorrow’s West Yorkshire derby between the Giants and the Tigers will be the first time Huby will have lined up against his former club.
But with Huddersfield desperate to build on last Friday’s 24-12 first success of the season against Widnes, Huby knows another victory is vitally important – and he doesn’t intend to let Castleford stand in his way.
“After so long at Cas, it probably will seem a bit strange at first. I know it’s a big game for me,” acknowledged the skillful front-row forward.
“But there’s no way I’m going to let the occasion get the better of me.
“I’m a Huddersfield Giants player now and as soon as I step over that white line onto the pitch, I’ll be treating it as just another game. I’ll be doing everything I can to make sure we beat them,
“Having beaten Widnes last Friday to win a game at the fourth attempt, it’s vital we start to build some momentum by beating Cas on Thursday.
“We know we’re improving all the time, and know if we maintain that improvement we can make it two wins out of two this week.”
