DECENT GIANTS PERFORMANC­E BUT CAS SHOW FINISHING EDGE

-

idly across to the right hand side of the home defence and Eden had the pace to undo his former colleagues.

Gale was on target again and repeated the dose on 65 minutes after Eden’s breakaway paved the way for Gale to cut in and score a fine try.

Three minutes from time, Gale attempted to add to his tally with a drop goal that he sent wide.

But the Giants at least had the last say as young winger Darnell McIntosh ended a neat move with a try in the corner, but Rankin was unable to add the kick, leaving the Giants eight points adrift of the table-toppers.

A crowd of 6,284 watched the action at the John Smith’s Stadium in what was the penultimat­e home match of the campaign.

Warrington coach Tony Smith insisted his side will not take London Broncos lightly today as they look to take another step towards retaining their Super League status.

The Wolves enjoy a 100 per cent record after the first three rounds of the Super 8s Qualifiers but they struggled to overcome part-timers Halifax in their last match.

And Smith said they will will not underestim­ate their latest Championsh­ip opponents on their own artificial pitch at the Ealing Trailfinde­rs tonight.

London’s only joy from their Super 8s fixtures so far was a point from a home draw against Feathersto­ne but they pushed Hull KR and Catalans Dragons all the way in their other games, a fact not lost on Smith.

“London have been very competitiv­e,” Smith said. “They are a bit unlucky to have only one point. They are a difficult team to play with experience­d players in ranks.

“It’s their home pitch and we are prepared for that. We are still looking to build so will roll our sleeves up.”
