The Giants got a lot of stick for the side that played Saints last season but it really was not that inexperienced. The side that day would have beaten Barrow comfortably.
Talk about a throw away line.
This whole debacle sums up what's wrong with RL in the UK. So-called 'big clubs' shafting so-called 'smaller clubs'. The lack of respect for lower league clubs is breathtaking - particularly for the likes of Huddersfield, who spent decades as a basement club in the lower echelons before they became flavour of the day with the RFL in a shiny new stadium.
The Barracudas, Arena 84, into SL by default (PSG's collapse) and kept afloat due to a dodgy 'merger' with Sheffield.
Sometimes fans forget just how lucky they are.
I hope we meet in the Challenge Cup. As Wigan found out, underestimate us at your peril.
