HUDDERSFIELD GIANTS will be hoping to maintain their recent good form against Hull KR and extend their unbeaten run to eight matches.
That obviously includes a meeting at Craven Park earlier this season in another Sky TV game which proved memorable for events off the field as well as on it.
On that day, the fixture came under serious threat at half-time as a power failure resulted in the floodlights in one corner going out, prompting referee Steve Ganson to tell Kevin Brown to avoid kicking to that corner!
The Giants were desperate to avoid an abandonment of the game as they were leading 12-6 at half time.
But, fortunately, after a 25-minute break, the lights were back on and the game continued, with Huddersfield romping to a 38-16 victory, thanks to second-half tries from Michael Lawrence, Danny Brough, Scott Grix, David Hodgson and Luke Robinson.
