Source: www.superleague.co.ukHuddersfield Giants coach Nathan Brown's decision to stay with the club beyond this season has provided the team with a boost ahead of Sunday's testing visit to Hull FC, according to the players.
The outspoken Australian put an end to the speculation over his future this week by signing a 12-month extension to his current three-year contract, which was due to expire at the end of the season.
"Everyone was delighted to hear the news that Browny was staying," said Giants second rower Danny Kirmond.
"It hasn't really played on the players' minds too much but everyone is really pleased with the news and I'm sure the fans are too.
"Nathan has taken the club forward a considerable amount over the last two and a half seasons so it's a boost for everyone to know that he's staying here."
The former St George Illawarra coach, who was Super League coach of the year in 2009, is a no-nonsense boss whose honesty is appreciated by the players, according to Kirmond.
"When he walks into a room, he's got an air of confidence about him and that transfers itself to the players," he added.
"He doesn't talk any nonsense and he tells you exactly how it is. That sort of honesty is appreciated.
"If you haven't been on your game, then he will let you know and there's every chance you won't be playing the following week.
"You know where you stand with him and, if you aren't playing well for him week in week out, then you won't be involved for very long."
Huddersfield reached Wembley two years ago and last year went within 80 minutes of a maiden grand-final appearance and captain Kevin Brown believes they can make further strides under his colourful namesake.
"I think it was something every single player wanted to hear," said Brown.
"It's no exaggeration to say that, under Browny's coaching, we've all improved as players and we know that, with Nathan here for another 18 months, we'll all continue to improve."
New Zealand international David Fa'alogo is poised to return to the Huddersfield team for Sunday's game at the KC Stadium despite being ruled out of the Exiles team to play England on June 10.
Fa'alogo has made just once appearance in the last two months because of hamstring trouble and his place in the Exiles squad was this week taken by Hull second rower Willie Manu.
"We have got a fitness doubts with one or two of the players and we will see how they go before we make any final decisions but Dave Fa'alogo is fit and available to play again and we know he is a more than capable replacement," said Nathan Brown.
Meanwhile, Hull are remaining tight-lipped over reports that they have signed Wests Tigers full-back Wade McKinnon and Leigh scrum-half Jamie Ellis for next season.
The 30-year-old McKinnon replaced Leeds Rhinos full-back Brent Webb at New Zealand Warriors in 2008 and has also played for South Sydney and Parramatta.
The 21-year-old Ellis joined the Centurions on a 12-month contract from St Helens at the start of the season.
