Nathan Brown: feet on the ground
Giants coach Nathan Brown warned his Huddersfield youngsters not to get carried away after they crushed newly-promoted Widnes 66-6 to go top of the Stobart Super League after two rounds of the new season.
The Giants face Warrington on Saturday and Brown said: "They're a different type of opposition and our younger guys might get picked on a bit more.
"So they need to keep their feet on the ground. But it was pleasing that all the players, from young to old, contributed to a good win."
The side also featured an all-English backline of mostly homegrown talents, with Brown adding: "I think we're the only side in the competition who can say that.
"The club decided to take that route a few years ago and it's great that so many players from the academy have come through and are doing well."
Brown's opposite number Denis Betts admitted: "We were put to the sword by a top-four or top-six side.
"They've got attacking power all over the field and it's a good sign of what's happening at Huddersfield that so many of them are homegrown."
He said of his own side's display: "I don't think we saw much of a performance from anyone.
"I won't relish watching the DVD as there won't be many occasions where I'm not going to think there's something we can't improve on.
"The only positive is it's our second game and we're going to get better. Across the board we've got players who are growing into this league."
