52-4 by St Helens<\/a> and it came as a cost, too.
Frawley, who was Huddersfield\u2019s most senior half-back available given Tui Lolohea and Adam Clune are already ruled out, hit the deck in the first half with an ankle injury.<\/p>\nThe Leeds Rhinos loanee had the joint strapped up and managed to get to half-time, however, he never emerged for the second half and could later be seen sat in the Giants\u2019 dugout with crutches by his side.<\/p>\n
Robinson couldn\u2019t provide much of an update on the scrum-half but he did admit that the signs were not promising.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt doesn\u2019t look good,\u201d an exasperated Robinson said after the game. \u201cWe obviously don\u2019t want to make a diagnosis too early but it\u2019s his ankle.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe amount of half-backs I\u2019ve had this year, I\u2019ve borrowed them from Hull KR, I\u2019ve borrowed them from Leeds, we\u2019ve brought young kids in, and we are were down to the bare bones anyway.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re missing Niall Evalds, Adam Clune and Tui Lolohea, I don\u2019t think they\u2019ve trained one second together, never mind played together. To then bring Matt Frawley in from Leeds and a little bit of stability and experience which we\u2019ve lacked throughout the year in that position, for him to look he could be gone as well, it typifies our year.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery team goes through injuries and you have to find a way of finding resilience and bringing those young players through. But the problem we\u2019ve had is its all been the same position. We\u2019ve not had those players play together from pre-season, we\u2019ve just not had them on the training field. When that happens it makes things extremely hard.\u201d<\/p>\n
Huddersfield Giants boss on his side\u2019s defeat at St Helens<\/p>\n
Huddersfield conceded four tries during what was a difficult first half and three of those came when they were down to 12 men following Taane Milne\u2019s sin-binning for dissent.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think it helped one little bit,\u201d Robinson said when asked if that yellow set the tone. \u201cThey\u2019re very good are Saints, they\u2019re very good in the ruck area and they make it extremely slow, they win the ruck and they make it difficult to get any momentum. We got a little bit frustrated by that but when you win the physical battle that generally happens.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s very difficult to keep getting your players up, especially when you\u2019ve got young players and players you\u2019re asking a lot of. I knew it was going to be a difficult place to come, they\u2019ve got a really stacked squad, an amazing team and they\u2019re playing some good rugby.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019ve got a forward pack that is one of the most physical in the league and when they get over the top of you, it\u2019s very difficult to contain them. They did that to us today and we could never battle that momentum back.\u201d<\/p>\n
