Huddersfield's misery continued as they suffered their seventh straight Super League defeat with a narrow loss to second-bottom side Salford on Sunday.

In a tight first half, Luke Robinson crossed twice, with John Wilshere adding the extras, and Mat Gardner and Chris Thorman responded for the Giants.

Jordan Turner extended the Salford advantage with a try after the break.

Andy Raleigh's try, converted by Thorman, cut the gap to two but Salford hung on for the win.


  • Huddersfield coach Jon Sharp

    "We are doing a lot of good things but not enough good things to win games and that's what is frustrating.

    "We've got a team who are rolling their sleeves up and having a dig. We're creating some opportunities but we're just not taking those chances and that puts pressure on you.

    "Because we haven't won a game, the boys are pretty anxious, particularly near the tryline. When we get chances we are apprehensive."

  • Salford coach Karl Harrison

    "Sheer guts and determination got us there in the end because Huddersfield threw a lot at us and we were hanging on.

    "There has been a lack of confidence in the camp and we were not very fluent today but things are starting to change.

    "Hopefully, we can go on a run now. We will certainly build on this performance."


    Huddersfield: Reilly, Aspinwall, Lolesi, Nero, Gardner, Thorman, Paul, Mason, Drew, Skandalis, Jones, Raleigh, Wild.
    Replacements: Crabtree, Jackson, Griffin, Hudson.

    Salford: Hodgson, Williams, McGuinness, Turner, Wilshere, Dorn, Robinson, Korkidas, Berthezene, Highton, Coley, Adamson, Finnigan.
    Replacements: Littler, Haggerty, Jewitt, Brocklehurst.

    Referee: R Silverwood (Dewsbury)
