Huddersfield Giants were training for the last time today before embarking on what head coach Paul Anderson believes is a well-earned Christmas break.

His Super League squad have spent the past two days focusing on skills work in the Leeds Road sportsbarn, with Anderson telling his players to rest up before a tough new year.

“The players have worked really hard so far,” he said.

“But they need some rest, because it’s going to get even tougher.”
