Huddersfield coach Luke Robinson insists it is \u2018out of his hands\u2019 whether he will still be in charge for next week\u2019s game with Wigan \u2013 but insists he believes he can still inspire a turnaround at the Giants.<\/p>\n
Robinson\u2019s men remain Super League\u2019s only winless side after five rounds of 2026, after a Jayden Nikorima-inspired Bradford condemned Huddersfield to another loss at Odsal on Friday evening.<\/p>\n
With the Bulls widely tipped to be competing with the Giants in the lower reaches of Super League this season, the game was billed as significant not only for Huddersfield\u2019s season, but perhaps for Robinson\u2019s position.<\/p>\n
However, the Giants head coach came out swinging post-match \u2013 insisting he believes he is still the right man for the job.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you get into the game, you understand,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been in the game for a very long time and I understand it. It\u2019s not new to me. I\u2019ve been around a long time and I know how rugby league works.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s always that pressure on you as a coach, it\u2019s always going to be there or thereabouts. Whether you\u2019ve got injuries or a depleted squad sometimes, that\u2019s not enough really. Fingers crossed it isn\u2019t, because I feel I can still do a good job and this team, when everyone comes back, can do a really good job. But that\u2019s out of my hands.\u201d<\/p>\n
When asked if he felt he still had the support of the club\u2019s hierarchy, Robinson replied: \u201cI can\u2019t tell you what they think and what\u2019s in their minds.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhenever I can, I\u2019ll put my all into this job and I think everyone can see the situation we\u2019ve been in. You\u2019d have to be daft not to understand why we are in this position. But it\u2019s out of my hands.\u201d<\/p>\n
Robinson, in the midst of the defeat at Bradford, was finally able to reveal a positive injury update from his squad too, with a plethora of key men set to return next week against Wigan.<\/p>\n
Adam Clune, Adam Swift, Niall Evalds and new signing Connor Wrench all look likely to be available for selection.<\/p>\n
Robinson admitted: \u201cThere\u2019s a fair few coming back hopefully. We don\u2019t know how they\u2019ll go in training but the way they\u2019re looking, they look like they could play. That would be Clune, Evalds, Swift and Connor who are all in the mix. I\u2019ve not had a selection headache all year and it would be nice to have one.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Huddersfield coach Luke Robinson insists it is \u2018out of his hands\u2019 whether he will still be in charge…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":487505,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[5903,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-487504","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-rugby","tag-rugby","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/487504","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=487504"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/487504\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/487505"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=487504"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=487504"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=487504"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
