LATE MCGILLVARY TRY ALMOST BRING FITTING REWARD AT WOLVES

-

However, Huddersfie­ld soon got back on a level footing after they were awarded a penalty after a high tackle on Lee Gaskell.

The Giants made the most of the field play and quick hands enabled Darnell McIntosh to hold off his Wolves counterpar­t to cross the line and level the scores. Brough narrowly missed the conversion attempt to leave the scores level at 4-4.

The scoreline swung back in favour of the home side as Daryl Clark weaved his way through the Giants defence, both McIntosh and Mamo struggling to bring the hooker down, after an exchange with Kurt Gidley. This time Patton was on target with his conversion.

The game continued to be a tight affair with both sides having their attacking chances.

Kruise Leeming found space to break from dummy-half and found Mamo with a well-timed pass, who crossed for his second consecutiv­e try since making his Giants debut against Catalans Dragons five days ealier.

This time Brough slotted his conversion attempt through the posts to land his first points of the afternoon.

The Giants were later awarded a penalty for a push and opted to take the two points on offer with Brough scoring from in front of the sticks to put the Giants into a slim 12-10 lead.

It was not long before quick hands saw Wolves break downfield and McGillvary looked like he had successful­ly intercepte­d but was pulled back for a knock-on and, from 10m, out Gidley was able to power his way over the try line with Patton on target with his conversion to move the Wire into a 16-12 lead.

As the first-half came to a close, Mamo showed off his defensive exploits as he provided an excellent last ditch-tackle to prevent the Wire’s Benjamin Jullien from crossing the line and Wolves went into the break in the lead with ta narrow four-point advantage.

It was the Giants who scored the first points of the second-half.

After a tight opening 10 minutes, Brough got over the line after a well worked attack from the Giants saw
