Huddersfield Giants kept their slim top four hopes alive with a comfortable 36-6 victory over Wakefield Trinity.
Danny Brough capitalised on a Ben Jones-Bishop error for the opening score before Darnell McIntosh touched down in the same corner four minutes later.
Ryan Hinchcliffe raced over after another Wakefield mistake before Brough slotted a penalty goal but Sam Williams cut the gap just before half time.
Brough nailed another two-pointer to extend the lead midway through the second half before Leroy Cudjoe added the hosts’ fourth try.
Jermaine McGillvary kept the scoreboard ticking and Daniel Smith finished off a fantastic team move late on to complete a comprehensive display.
