Huddersfield boss Ian Watson says he’s “embracing” the challenge of the club’s tough spell and won’t panic.
Their season is in danger of freefalling after being knocked out of the Challenge Cup and picking up just one win in six games. Ahead of Saturday's tricky test at joint-leaders Warrington Wolves, Giants have also suffered their biggest loss of the year. The 48-6 hammering by champions St Helens was a sobering lesson which reminded Watson’s side - tipped as potential title challengers at the start of the campaign - about how far they are off the pace.
But the 46 year-old is defiant he will get things right with his squad who sit tenth, six points adrift of the play-off spots having already passed the season halfway mark. He says the return tomorrow of scrum-half Olly Russell after two months out with a hamstring issue will be “huge.” And after the “massively disappointing” loss against Saints, Watson insisted they are working through their issues.
