20 .............. GIANTS Red Devils juggernaut

-

missed an easy penalty attempt a minute before the break, an eight-point deficit meant the Giants were still very much in the contest.

Unfortunat­ely, the lead was increased six minutes after the restart when Gareth O’Brien came into the line and stepped over, although Dobson again failed with a relatively straightfo­rward kick.

He quickly made amends by landing a 40-20 from which Sa’u sliced through for his second.

And in what seemed like a blink of an eye, the hosts were over again as former Giants winger Greg Johnson walked in at the corner and Dobson this time goaled.

At 32-10, the game had already slipped out of the Giants’ grasp.

The pressure was kept up with another fantastic Dobson 40-20, ending with MurdochMas­ila stretching out for Salford’s seventh try of the afternoon.

But even though the game had gone, Huddersfie­ld refused to wave the white flag as Darnell McIntosh collected Gaskell’s high kick and fed Kruise Leeming to race over, although Brough couldn’t convert.

The Giants did, however, have the consolatio­n of scoring the try of the game when Ukuma Ta’ai raced away and Gaskell and Cudjoe fed McIntosh to finish spectacula­rly in the corner.

Brough then put the icing on the cake by landing the touchline conversion.

But, at the end of the day, it couldn’t hide the fact Huddersfie­ld had been well beaten on their travels.
