MCGILLVARY SHELLSHOCKED BY GIANTS CRISIS

Leeds v Huddersfield, 8pm BY TREVOR BAXTER

JERMAINE MCGILLVARY is baffled by Huddersfield’s stunning fall from rugby league kings to Betfred Super League also-rans. And the England winger reckons even victory at joint-leaders Leeds tonight won’t end their troubles. Mcgillvary (right) describes Sunday’s Challenge Cup humiliation by Swinton, as the “worst point of my Giants career”. Huddersfield face a Rhinos’ side with seven wins from their last eight games. In 2013, Giants ended an 81-year wait by winning the League Leaders Shield. Two years later they were within 80 minutes of a first Grand Final. Now they could be bottom by Sunday night. “I

thought we would always be challenging for titles,” said

Mcgillvary. “Now, I find myself challenging to stay off the bottom of the league and staying out of a game that could get us relegated. “When Nathan Brown and Paul Anderson were here and we were getting close to Grand Finals I thought, ‘This is it.’ Now we are in a slump. “We can’t think one win might change our season, we need to have a run.”
