Fresh from failing to live up to expectations in 2023, Huddersfield Giants have flown under the radar at the start of this year.
The Giants barely featured in the pre-season conversations around trophy contenders after stuttering to a ninth-place finish last year. Views are beginning to change thanks to a five-match winning run that has featured eye-catching victories at Catalans Dragons and Leeds Rhinos. Watson puts Huddersfield's impressive form down to the continuity in the spine, in stark contrast to last year when he lost Theo Fages and Olly Russell for long periods.
'But I think we've had two outstanding tests the last two weeks going to Headingley where you know the crowd are loud and give Leeds a lift with the energy they create. It's the same at Catalans – very hostile. 'We kind of like those environments and embrace going to those places. Players dream about playing in big games and at stadiums that are packed out, not the ones where there's 3,000 there.
