Woolford not taking Challenge Cup for granted

AUSTRALIAN Simon Woolford takes charge of his first match as a head coach tonight in the knowledge that he is only two wins away from leading his new club Huddersfield out at Wembley.

The 43-year-old former Canberra captain arrived just in time to watch Huddersfield beat Salford 24-16 in round 16 of the Super League last Friday, a fourth straight win which has promised to transform their season.

Their latest triumph lifted the Giants out of the bottom four for the first time this season and victory over Catalans Dragons in the first Cup quarter-final at Stadium Way will take them to within 80 minutes of the final.
