TROUT IS THE REEL DEAL

A Giant double for Owen... but he's more bothered about injured ear

- DAVE CRAVEN

HUDDERSFIELD hero Owen Trout stormed over twice - but was more concerned about his looks than gloating.

The prop's try double proved crucial as Giants picked up a first win in three games.

Trout does not cross the line often but boss Ian Watson said: "He's busy in there, more talking about his ear than anything. He's cut it and is more worried about how that looks and getting it patched up.

"He's a great kid. I thought our other prop Matty English was outstanding, too, with a couple of big plays, including setting up Trouty's second with that pass. He fancies himself as a stand-off and keeps telling us he's good enough. It was a big result for us."
