We have big hurdle to clear against Giants

where fans will be able to watch live coverage of the cup clash and organisers are predicting a large turnout of supporters.

Broughton is expecting a strong challenge from the Giants, especially now club captain Leroy Cudjoe has returned from injury and is available for selection.

“I’m good friends with Leroy and I spoke to him recently, he’s been out a long time but he’s back now,” said Broughton.

“He’s a player that you always fear. I don’t like facing him when he’s at centre because he’s got devastating footwork.

“I’m really glad for him that he’s back but he’s a difficult man to stop.

“And there’s Jermaine McGillvary who everybody knows is up there with the three best wingers in the world. Fortunately wingers don’t have to tackle each other that often so I leave it up to the middles to deal with Jermaine.

“They’ve got some real talent there but have struggled recently. When I was there (2014-15) we were a top three or four side, always competing for the play-offs.

“The year after I left it seemed to fall apart with Luke Robinson having to retire, Scott Grix, Eorl Crabtree and Brett Ferres all leaving.

“Add to that, Craig Huby was out for a full year and it really affected them. They’ve never really recovered and managed to get the personnel back. But they’re still a good side and we’re expecting it to be tough.”
