10. Huddersfield Giants
The Giants have an average though hard-working squad, and they never seem far away from a load of injuries which is unfortunate.
The talented Aidan Sezer should be a comfortable upgrade on Matt Frawley if he stays fit and performs to the best of his ability. I think Sezer staying fit is crucial for the Giants: they should have no genuine relegation fears if he settles in, links up well with the much-improved Lee Gaskell and consistently performs to level he is capable of.
Darnell Mclntosh is a very good young player. He is athletic and skilful but needs to mature his game next season in order to offer his team more stability.
The squad – as a whole – lacks genuine power, speed and quality in several positions to compete with the stronger teams.
They might claim some scalps but they will likely struggle for consistency, especially on the road. Kenny Edwards is a promising signing and should offer the Giants some real power, aggression, and destructive running on the edges.
Key Player – Aidan Sezer. Huddersfield’s big off-season signing. Sezer has 155 NRL appearances under his belt and could offer the direction and organisation they badly lacked in attack at times last season.
