St. Helens vs Huddersfield Giants prediction
For St. Helens, this game is really all about complacency. Provided they maintain their composure, high standards and treat Huddersfield Giants with respect, then the Saints should wind up too good for their opponents. Because Huddersfield proved when beating Wigan Warriors earlier in the season at the Brick Community Stadium that if you underestimate them, they can give you a bloody nose.
But Paul Rowley is an experienced coach and there’s little chance that he’ll let standards slip within the St. Helens camp, especially with them being at home. Expect the Saints to do their job and overpower Huddersfield, winning by a significant number of points.
