One Huddersfield Giants star has made an admission about the club’s 2025 season in Super League, making a vow ahead of the upcoming campaign.
In Luke Robinson’s first full season as head coach, Huddersfield finished up 10th in Super League, above only Salford Red Devils and Castleford Tigers, as they won just seven games in the competition.
Injuries tormented them throughout the season and pre-season with their first-choice spine combination hardly featuring at all throughout the entire year.
Centre Taane Milne has now spoken to club media about his off-season, a look back at 2025 and a look inside pre-season with the Giants seemingly far healthier this year, than last.
“Having the injured lads back within the group adds to it,” explained Milne, who spent much of the off-season down under representing Fiji in the Pacific Championships and then having an extended break with family in Australia.
Huddersfield Giants “working extremely hard” to avoid repeat of 2025
After returning to England to start pre-season training, Milne spoke about his first few weeks back in Huddersfield, stating: “I’ve enjoyed being back here. The staff have looked after me in my first week back, easing me into things and now I’m back into the full drills and training and it’s been good.”
Milne was one of the Giants’ standout performers in 2025 and that saw the Huddersfield man earn another call-up for Fiji, for whom he played in the second-row as opposed to the centre position he plays for the Giants.
Despite a sin bin in one of the Tests, Milne spoke about his time down under representing Fiji, explaining: “It’s something I always pride myself on, there’s nothing I love more than playing for them and it’s one of the best things of my career.”
Now that he’s back in England, Milne has met the new faces that Huddersfield have added with the Giants making a number of off-season signings.
“We’ve got some new recruits and I’m looking forward to seeing how they add to our team, seeing them in training they’re all keen to impress.”
On 2025, he admitted: “We know that last season wasn’t good enough and we’re all working extremely hard in pre-season to fix up and ensure next season is more enjoyable for us all.”
