Saturday’s home game against Hull FC is being screened on Sky TV. Is this another great opportunity to show a wider audience how well Huddersfield Giants can play and why you’re top of Super League XVIII?

To be honest, I haven’t given it one moments thought that it’s on Sky.

But thanks for the nudge, because it’ll remind me to have a shave!

In all seriousness, it doesn’t – and shouldn’t – make the slightest bit of difference if it’s televised or not.

It also doesn’t matter where or when you’re playing. Every game is played on a piece of grass of a very similar size, and that’s the only thing that matters.

In other words, we need to show the right attitude whatever the circumstances. That’s the key.

We showed the right attitude against Leeds last Friday, and everyone saw the results.

We showed the wrong attitude against Bradford the week before, and the result that day said it all.

So, whether Saturday’s game is on Sky or not, it shouldn’t make the slightest difference at all.

I’d expect our attitude to be exactly the same, and that means the attitude on show at Headingley.

Yes, Danny Brough took all the plaudits, and rightly so, because he played well.

But Broughy would be the first to acknowledge he can only be that effective on the back of the work of the others around him, and their attitude was spot-on.

Broughy probably kicked between 15 and 20 times, and around 10-15 of those were outstanding.

The others were average, but the rest of the boys made them look good, because the collective effort was there to chase those kicks.

For example, the key to the first try was the way Aaron Murphy never gave up chasing Broughy’s kick to the corner and applied enough pressure on Leeds winger Joe Vickery to make him come up with an error for Joe Wardle to score.

The Leeds game seemed pretty physical. Apart from Jason Chan (out for six to eight weeks with a knee injury) did everyone emerge unscathed?

Yes, there were the usual bumps and bruises, which is what you’d expect after such an encounter, but Channy’s was the only injury.

And, yes, there’s no denying it was a physical encounter.

Everybody talks about us and the fact we’re a big, physical team.

But look at Leeds. Jamie Peacock isn’t small, neither are Richard Moore and Ian Kirke, and Jamie Jones-Buchanan and Carl Ablett like to put it about as well.

Yet despite all this, we did look strong from start to finish.

There was a lot of spilt ball due to the wet conditions, but Leeds also lost a lot of ball in contact, which was really pleasing. That shows how much pressure we put them under physically.

So does that mean you’ll be keeping changes to an absolute minimum for the Hull game?

A final decision has yet to be taken, but there’s clearly no need to make that many changes.

One of the biggest choices we have to make is on the wings.

Jermaine McGillvary has been able to train this week after missing the Leeds game with a back spasm, and the way he’s trained has left no-one in any doubt that he wants to play on Saturday.

But Matty Dawson has made sure Jerry’s return is far from guaranteed after the way he played at Leeds.

That’s probably one of the main reasons why Jerry’s been working so hard this week, which I also know he’s more than happy about.

When Jerry knew he wouldn’t be fit for last Friday night, the first thing he did was ring Matty up, wish him the best of luck and hope he produced a performance which would make it difficult for him to step straight back in. That’s exactly what Matty did.

He may have been up against Leeds’ winger Ryan Hall, who regularly gets in the Super League Dream Team and World XVIII, but Matty didn’t look out of place against him, and that’s probably the highest complement you could pay him.

On top of that, Jacob Fairbank is also back to full fitness after missing the Leeds game through illness, so we’re not exactly short of numbers.

In fact, Channy and Bruno (Michael Lawrence, who is recovering from an ankle injury) are the only absentees.

And the news about Bruno suggests he could be back sooner rather than later.

Yes, that’s right.

It was first feared he could be out for three months, but he could now be back in the reckoning by Easter, which would trim around a month off that estimate.

I obviously don’t wish to jinx him, but all the signs really are encouraging.

And when he does return, it’ll be like welcoming a new signing for us, because the only action he’s seen is limited minutes in the trials.

It’ll also be a massive positive, too, when he does get back out on the field.

He’s an important player for us, He’s a big man who plays in the middle, plays a lot of minutes and has a great deal of energy.
