Super League pace-setters Leeds made it four wins out of four, trouncing Hudderfield to stay two points clear at the top of the table.

The Rhinos hit the half-century of points for the second successive week with Mark Calderwood starting it off with a try after only 45 seconds.

Leeds went on to add another eight tries with Chev Walker, Chris McKenna and Richard Mathers scoring two apiece.

Kevin Sinfield continued his good kicking form with nine goals.

I thought there was some outstanding play with some extra special skills
Leeds coach Tony Smith

Huddersfield maintained their new reputation for being slow-starters as they went 18-0 down inside 22 minutes.

After Calderwood's opener, McKenna and Mathers both went over to build up a comfortable early advantage.

A mistake by Walker was capitalised on by stand-off Chris Thorman to set up a try for winger Hefin O'Hare.

But normal service was resumed when the ever-dangerous Sinfield broke clear to send Walker over for Leeds' fourth try just before half-time.

Although Giants prop Jim Gannon took Sean Penkywicz's pass to grab a deserved try, converted by Thorman, five minutes into the second half, that was as good as it got for the home side.

McKenna raced on to Andrew Dunemann's pass to claim his second try while Walker and Rob Burrow went over as Gannon was in the sin-bin and late tries from Mathers and Jamie Jones-Buchanan sealed the win.


Huddersfield: Donlan, O'Hare, Evans, Gene, White, Thorman, March, Slicker, Drew, Gannon, Nero, Smith, Jones. Replacements: Penkywicz, Crabtree, Grayshon, St Hilaire.

Leeds: Mathers, Calderwood, McKenna, Senior, Bai, Sinfield, Burrow, Bailey, Dunemann, Ward, Jones-Buchanan, Lauitiiti, Ellis. Replacements: Poching, McDermott, McDonald, Walker.

Referee: Steve Ganson (St Helens)
