Giants' Finnigan ruled out for six weeks

Huddersfield Giants will have to play without second-rower Simon Finnigan for six weeks.A knee injury sustained by Finnigan in the Giants' victory over Bradford Bulls on Friday means he will be unfit for another month-and-a-half.The 27-year-old moved from the Bulls to the Giants at the end of last season and according to coach Nathan Brown, the team will notice Finnigan's absence."Simon has fitted in well here and was making a very positive impression and we'll definitely miss him," he said.Teammate Eorl Crabtree has also been ruled out for some time after suffering a hamstring problem.The Giants' now face Hull FC on Friday after their 16-12 triumph over the Bulls last weekend.Hull FC are third favourites to win the Super League this season with odds priced at 14/1, while Huddersfield are less favoured by bookies, with odds of 20/1 available for the Giants.
