00:00What does Huddersfield mean to you?

00:11Huddersfield, I think they've got a very enthusiastic coach with plenty of passion in Luke Robinson.

00:18I think he'll get a tune out of them. Eventually, I'll get on to the negative soon.

00:24Huddersfield, I think they've got a very enthusiastic coach with plenty of passion in Luke Robinson.

00:29I think he'll get a tune out of them. Eventually, I'll get on to the negative soon.

00:34I think they have made some good signings as well. They've recruited well from the NRL.

00:39We've got Tane Milne, Jacob Gagai, Tom Burgess, Zach Walford.

00:45I think they have recruited some quality and they already had some quality in the squad.

00:49How has the season been for Huddersfield?

01:19How has the season been for Huddersfield?

01:48How has the season been for Huddersfield?

01:49You're probably looking at someone like Tuul Olahir.

01:53Like I said, Huddersfield, they've got a good pack.

01:57They've got the likes of Tom Burgess coming in.

01:59He'll get them on the front foot.

02:01But to win games, you need those spying players to step up.

02:05Tuul Olahir has been at the club a very long time now.

02:07He's one of the longest serving players.

02:10So you're looking at him to get Huddersfield over the line in tight games

02:14and to win them games in the summer on those dry tracks.

02:20You fancy a player like that to stand up now.

02:23Particularly because given Adam Clune's injury history,

02:27certainly in his pre-season, he's hardly trained.

02:31So you're looking at someone like Tuul Olahir to hit the ground running.

02:34Although, again, he's had his own injury problems.

02:37How has the season been for Huddersfield?

02:41Huddersfield have tipped to finish second bottom.

02:45Similar to the reason I gave for Cass finishing bottom.

02:49I just think there's no standout weak side.

02:53They've got their injury problems already.

02:56It's not looking good on that front.

02:59I just think there's better sides above them in the table.

03:02More settled sides.

03:04I just think it'll be one of those seasons again for Huddersfield,

03:07just based on their injuries.

03:09And recent seasons, obviously finishing ninth in the last two seasons.
