Mighty Giants stride to peak
HUDDERSFIELD GIANTS regained top spot in Super League by running in seven tries in a 40-24 success at Castleford Tigers, their first win at their Yorkshire rivals’ home for four years.
Winger Jermaine McGillvary bagged two tries and half-back Danny Brough kicked six goals as the Giants avenged last season’s 52-6 hammering by the Tigers to move one point clear of Wigan at the head of the table.
The Tigers, without a win in nine games, scored 18 points in the last four minutes but remain at the foot of the table after a dreadful first-half show.
Despite taking an early lead, Castleford were 28-6 down at half-time after conceding five tries in a 17-minute spell, including two while their England stand-off Rangi Chase was in the sin-bin.

Jarrod Sammut scored four tries as Bradford Bulls came from behind to beat London Broncos 46-20 in Wycombe.
Sammut also booted seven goals for a 30-point haul as the Bulls maintained their promising start to the campaign after last season’s financial woes.
For the Broncos, it was a sixth home game without a win this season despite a first-half hat-trick from Kieran Dixon.
