SUCCESS IN PERPIGNAN WILL LIFT GIANTS INTO SUPER LEAGUE’S TOP EIGHT

coach Rick Stone’s side firmly in the driver’s seat when it comes to avoiding another scrap in the Middle 8s.

England international centre Cudjoe feels the win over Warrington could be the perfect impetus and said: “It was good to get the win against the Wolves.

“I thought we started with some good energy and intent which helped us massively.

“We defended well for the majority of the game and scrambled well too, which made a big difference in the game.”

Scotland skipper Danny Brough returned after suspension at half back and Cudjoe felt that the playmaker and new signing Jordan Turner could give the Giants a boost at a crucial time in the campaign.

“Having Broughy return for us added some spark to our attack, as did Jordan Turner making his debut,” added Cudjoe.

“I thought both came into the team and contributed very well, but the key now is making sure we build on the Warrington win.

“I’m sure we will take some confidence from that game into the match with Catalan Dragons on Saturday.”

The Giants are pleased to announce that the annual Giants Twenty20 Cricket Family Funday, in association with Hinchliffe’s Farm Shop, will take place on Sunday, June 25.
