Huddersfield Giants out to turn Dewsbury into home away from home for Toulouse Olympique clash
Huddersfield Giants are ready to turn Dewsbury into their home away from home after last year's encouraging experience.
The Giants have been forced to relocate Saturday's clash with Toulouse Olympique due to pitch work at the Accu Stadium.
Jim Lenihan's side are hoping to go one better than last year when they were denied a deserved win by Wigan Warriors in the dying seconds.
"The boys played Wigan here last year and said it was a really good day," noted Lenihan. "Our boys are really looking forward to it. It's a bit more of a parochial, louder crowd in a smaller venue."
Lenihan arrived in time for Huddersfield's previous game at Leeds Rhinos but he has enjoyed more time with his new charges this week.
The Australian is hoping that is reflected in their performance.
"We've had really good buy-in from the players," he said.
"We're trying to take a little bit of the pressure off in terms of winning or losing. We don't want to put ourselves in a position where we're worrying about that.
"We're just really trying to find some detail in the way we play this week and really focusing on the process."
Tom Burgess and Connor Wrench are pushing to return, while George Flanagan could hand the Giants a huge boost after three months out.
"I saw a fair bit of him on video before I got here and he's had a really good energy about him in training," said Lenihan.
"He's very excited to play. He's loud, he's boisterous and has the kind of positivity we want at the moment.
"It's looking at the things that could go right rather than the things that could go wrong."
