HUDDERSFIELD GIANTS consigned Wakefield Trinity to a third straight defeat with a professional
It was nip and tuck for the opening quarter with mistakes aplenty on both sides but, credit to Wakefield, their defence stood resolute and forced errors aplenty from the visitors.
Even with the likes of Theo Fages and Will Pryce pulling the strings, the Giants just couldn’t make their territory and possession count as the sides went into the break with a remarkable 0-0 scoreline.
Tui Lolohea slotted over a penalty two minutes into the second-half following a late hit on Theo Fages as the Giants led 2-0.
Huddersfield kept coming after being repelled by strong Trinity defence and, after a superb last-tackle play, Joe Greenwood crashed over next to the posts. Lolohea converted for an 8-0 lead.
Wakefield just had no answer and with stern Huddersfield defence, they were kept scoreless for the entire 80 minutes.
