Quote DARRELL GRIFFIN believes the Giants have the front-row firepower to see off Catalans Dragons and take another massive step towards a top-three Super League finish.
Huddersfield entertain the French at the Galpharm on Sunday (3.00) looking to secure a 15th victory of the season that could take them five points clear of fourth-placed Hull KR with just five rounds of the regular season remaining.
For that to be achieved, the Giants must get the better of a Catalans pack that never refuses to take a backward step.
But the in-form Griffin has no doubt he and his teammates – and particular fellow props Eorl Crabtree, Paul Jackson and Keith Mason – will win an explosive forward battle and close in on the play-offs.
“Catalans have a very tough, physical pack who like to dominate the opposition,” said Griffin, whose joint ‘hit’ with Scott Moore on Dragons prop star Jason Ryles on the opening day of the season helped lay the foundations for the Giants 30-8 victory.
“But we’ll be ready for them and, with the form we’re in, we’ll relish the challenge.
“That’s because we’ve got such a great squad. There’s a real mix of players, especially in the front row, with everyone of us bringing something different to the role.

Lets hope in-form Griffin signs a contract extension with the Giants.
