14 .............. GIANTS Giants are blown away

try a few minutes later.

Full-back Niall Evalds got Salford’s fifth try in the 33rd minute, capitalising on some slack Huddersfield defence as the ball was kept moving along the line. O’Brien kicked the conversion from touch to make it 30-0.

The travelling Giants fans finally had something to cheer moments before half-time when a break from Ferguson put the Salford defence on the back foot and the ball was quickly shipped out to the right by Danny Brough then Mellor to give McGilvary a walk-in try at the corner.

In keeping with Huddersfield’s luck, Brough saw his conversion hit a post and bounce away.

Salford scored twice in four minutes at the start of the second half with wingers Vatuvei and Jake Bibby going in at either corner. O’Brien converted the former for a 40-4 lead.

In the 50th minute, Huddersfield scored their second try when Oliver Roberts regained the ball having had it stripped from him and scored from 15 metres and Brough kicked the conversion.

With the game stuttering to a conclusion in showery conditions, O’Brien kicked a penalty before further tries from Ben MurdochMasila and Josh Jones, the latter goaled by O’Brien.

Huddersfield completed the scoring with a last-minute try from Hinchcliffe which Brough was unable to convert.
