Giants managing director Richard Thewlis says Davy's plans to make a major announcement at half-time has generated "massive" interest in tonight's match against Catalans Dragons.

The club have managed to keep a lid on details of what Davy says will be the "most important announcement in the club's modern-day history" despite frantic media activity.

"It has been amazing, absolutely enormous," said Thewlis. "We've had people ringing up from Australia, New Zealand and America, all over the world.

"All the players, current, past and future players, have been trying to get the inside line, but nobody knows apart from a small inner circle and all will become clear (tonight).

"For the last 11 years Ken has steered the club forwards, always with the best interests of the club at heart, and I am hoping people will turn out in force to hear what he has to say."

A crowd of just 4,071 - Huddersfield's lowest league attendance for two years - watched the Catalans' game at the Galpharm Stadium in April, but, with free admission, the club are gearing themselves up for a third five-figure crowd of the season.

The mystery of the half-time announcement has overshadowed the build-up to a match which will go some way towards determining the final play-off positions.

Catalans, who have faltered by taking just a point from their last three matches, need just one more to clinch third place and potentially two home ties in the Grand Final Series, while Huddersfield need a victory to maintain their slender top-six hopes.

Huddersfield will also be looking to made amends for the embarrassment of their 48-0 thrashing by the Dragons in Perpignan in May, a low point of the season which ultimately cost Jon Sharp his job as head coach.

Huddersfield will give a home debut to New Zealand hooker David Faiumu while Catalans are boosted by the return of veteran prop Alex Chan.
