Hudderfield Giants could have increased their score but Jermaine McGillvary had his try ruled to for a forward pass.

It was Huddersfield Giants who scored the first points of the second half when a Brough kick kindly bounced for up for Patrick to score, Danny Brough added the conversion giving Huddersfield they biggest lead of the night.
