Huddersfield Giants owner Ken Davy has made a bold Grand Final declaration and told those without a positive attitude to “get the hell out of here” in an impassioned and emotive speech at the club’s season launch.

Davy has insisted that Huddersfield Giants “will win a Grand Final”, claiming that there are “no ifs, no buts” surrounding that matter. Of course, he’s admitted that it won’t necessarily happen in 2026 but he was clear in both the delivery and content of his speech that the Giants are entering a new chapter.

In audio shared by the club on social media, Davy addressed fans at the Huddersfield Giants Supporters Association season launch, beginning by stating: “I want to talk about transformation, transformation of the Huddersfield Giants.

“I came up to the fans forum a few months back and said I was not happy. I wasn’t happy, you were not happy and we needed to change and we needed to improve because we need to win something.”

Huddersfield last lifted silverware in 2013 when they won the League Leaders Shield but they’re without a championship or Challenge Cup win since the mid-20th century. Recent years have seen them miss the play-offs for three straight seasons, whilst also losing the 2023 Challenge Cup Final.

Huddersfield Giants “are going to win a Grand Final”

Explaining what change is happening at Huddersfield, Davy confirmed that he, fans and others are the club are not satisfied and therefore need change with Ralph Rimmer, former RFL CEO, the man enacting that plan.

Davy outlined: “The fact is we weren’t satisfied and if we want to win a Grand Final, which we do, and we want to move to a smaller stadium, which we do, and if we want to play to sell-out crowds, then we must change.

“A few months ago, we set about to start that process and to do that, we turned to Ralph Rimmer… He’s the go to man for the government if there is a problem with sport, the go to man for rugby union if they’ve got a problem, and the football league so we couldn’t turn to a better man.

“He’s been working away on a project for a number of months that started off about a new stadium but it’s developed beyond that, which will come out in the coming months and years.”

Having explained the context, Davy then proceeded to identify the club’s goal as winning a Super League Grand Final, going even further to state that it’s not just a goal but it is soemthing that will definitively happen.

Davy said: “I want to talk about our goal, my goal, your goal, the club’s goal and it is to win a Grand Final. No ifs, no buts, we are going to win a Grand Final.”

“No room in the Huddersfield Giants for negativity” as owner sets out path for success

Speaking on the changes being brought about in 2026 to ensure that happens, the Giants’ owner confirmed that all Huddersfield players, coaches, and others at the club will attend Old Trafford in 2026 to watch the Grand Final, if the club aren’t playing, so as to get a feel for success.

“Everyone in the club is going to the Grand Final as spectators, who knows we could be there, but we’re going anyway to get that atmosphere and the feel of what it is like so we can carry on that journey to make sure that we get to the Grand Final.

“This goal will impact on every aspect of the club in the coming two or three years.

“Our squad for this year is pretty well complete but further signings will come and they will be clear signs of what our ambition is.”

Davy also outlined that there will be no tolerance of negativity at the club with all involved pulling in the same direction, a positive one.

He declared: “There is no room in the Huddersfield Giants anywhere for negativity… No ifs, no buts, it’s a positive attitude. If you haven’t got a positive attitude then get the hell out of here.”

Taking inspiration from a John F. Kennedy speech and his ability to put a man on the moon, Davy argued that setting a goal such as winning the Grand Final leads to “goal orientation”, with a positive attitude also helping the club towards their ultimate goal.

Davy concluded: “Things start to happen because you’re putting your subconscious mind to work to achieve that goal and things happen. It’s a magic bug so we are going to use that positive attitude and goal orientation to create the magic that we need to ultimately win the Grand Final for the Huddersfield Giants.

“Just like John F. Kennedy said, it won’t be easy and like he said, we’re not doing it because it’s easy, we’re doing it because it’s difficult. That journey starts right now.”

Quite if the positive attitude is enough to lead to a Super League Grand Final win, something that only five clubs in history have managed, is still to be seen but the message of positivity is clear.
