“While we are a bit disappointed with the final score, there were plenty of positives to take from the game.
“Huddersfield brought pretty much a full-strength squad and didn’t let up for 80 minutes.
“We had a handful of experienced players missing and lost a few during the game, so it was probably no surprise we struggled towards the end.

Tomorrow’s friendly will be Dewsbury’s second and final pre-season outing as they again opt to test themselves against Super League opposition.
Their competitive campaign begins at home to Bradford on January 30.
