Luke Robinson will hold talks with Huddersfield Giants over the possibility of becoming permanent head coach.<\/p>\n

Robinson is currently interim coach of the Giants after Ian Watson’s exit last week and is keen to turn the club’s form around.<\/p>\n

Huddersfield have lost nine of their last 10 games in all competitions and face Salford Red Devils – live on Sky Sports Mix at 7.45pm on Friday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I’ve never been in a rush to take the head job. You can only be a couple of weeks from getting sacked,” Robinson told Sky Sports’ The Verdict<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“I feel I’m ready. I feel like I’ve done my apprenticeship, worked under a lot of coaches as a player and an assistant coach.<\/p>\n

“It’s got to be the right fit, the right timing, not only for me but the club. If they think it’s not the right time for me, I will assist anyone who comes in.<\/p>\n

“All I want is the best for this club. Where the club decides to go, I will go with. If you’re asking me if I’m ready, and think I can do the job, I think I will do the job very well.”<\/p>\n

Asked if he had talks with the club, he added: “Not with the board. I’ve spoke to the CEO in little bits but there’s been that much going on behind the scenes. We haven’t had time to sit down.<\/p>\n

“We are really struggling with injuries at the moment, we are down to the bare bones, so there’s been a lot of stuff I’ve been trying to sort out in the short-term. The long-term stuff has been put to the side a little bit.”<\/p>\n

Robinson: Not a quick fix<\/h3>\n

Huddersfield made the Challenge Cup final in 2022 and finished third but have largely struggled since then.<\/p>\n

Last week against Leigh, Andre Savelio was sent off for the second time in his four-game Huddersfield career.<\/p>\n

The Giants have also struggled with injury and sit ninth in the Super League table.<\/p>\n

“We just need to start winning some games and getting pride in our performances. That’s what the fans and club want to see,” said Robinson.<\/p>\n

“The long-term vision is yet to be laid out to me. While I don’t know what’s going on [behind the scenes], my job is to get the players playing well, playing as a team and we made mini strides last week.<\/p>\n

“There were things going on behind the scenes for weeks and months with players, so it’s not a quick fix. I’ve tried to iron out as much as I can and bring the group together.<\/p>\n

“Anyone who saw that game at Leigh, saw a group of players who are willing to put in a lot of effort for each other. Strides in the right direction but there is a little bit of healing to do yet.”<\/p>\n
