00:00Huddersfield have had three defeats, but they've been in every game and they've been quite
00:16close defeats. It's proven a frustrating start for the coach, Lou Robinson, isn't it?
00:22It is, yeah. He was very frustrated after the whole game last week. They had that game
00:26won. Better game management wins that game, essentially. They were six points up with
00:3313, 14 minutes to go through an intercept pass and just basically handed the whole game
00:38with the way they went about the closing stages. You look at the fixtures and that's really
00:45one that got away. They should have won that game. That's the first win on the board. Instead
00:50they go to Wigan without a win. It's unlikely it will come this week. Although if there
00:57is a good time to play Wigan, it's probably after they've been to Vegas and they've got
01:02to shake off the effects of that. But that doesn't mean it's going to be easy. It's still
01:05going to be a really tough game. Although in recent seasons Huddersfield have been written
01:10off going to Wigan and they've produced really strong performances, albeit in defeat. But
01:15if they can go there this week and produce similar performance and take positives away
01:19from it, that's probably the best they can hope for this week. Not many teams, if anyone,
01:24will go to Wigan and win this season. So it's all about going there, putting in a proud
01:28performance and seeing where it takes them. Hopefully they can have a performance to build
01:33on going into games that... well, easy games, basically, because it's very hard to see them
01:40going to Wigan and winning this week.
