4 ................. GIANTS vibrant leaders!

extend their lead.

A legitimate ball steal by Luke Douglas on Ukuma Ta’ai created a perfect attacking position and Barba made the most of it to work centre Ryan Morgan over for St Helens’ seventh try.

Huddersfield added to their own problems with a series of handling errors and one from teenager Innes Senior 20m out from his own line gifted St Helens the opportunity for Barba to get Morgan over for an identical score.

Former St Helens centre Jordan Turner ensured the Giants would not be nilled as he took Kruise Leeming’s pass to cross for a 64th-minute try, but Jordan Rankin could not add the goal and normal service was quickly resumed.

Richardson showed a nice turn of speed to break the Giants defensive line and neatly sidestepped his way past full-back Jared Simpson for a solo try, to which he added his sixth conversion.

And Saints piled on the agony for the Giants in the closing stages with McCarthy-Scarsbrook and Barba combining to get Lomax over for his third try, winger Regan Grace producing some dazzling footwork to register an opportunist touchdown and prop Kyle Amor bulldozing his way through a shattered defence to wrap up the scoring.

A sad story for the Giants.

Hull have signed former England international Joe Westerman for a second time following his release by Toronto.

The 28-year-old loose forward made 127 appearances for the Black and Whites from 2011-15 before moving to Warrington and rejoins them on a deal to the end of the season, with Hull having an option to extend it.

Hull coach Lee Radford is delighted, saying: “I’m over the moon to be able to bring in a player with Joe’s talent. This has to work for him.”
