Hull KR: (18) 24 Tries: Webster, Fitzhenry (2), Walker Goals: Cooke (4) Huddersfield: (12) 24 Tries: Gatis, Thorman, Whaturia, Jensen Goals: Thorman (4) Hull KR and Huddersfield shared the points at Craven Park as neither side managed to dominate the game. Jake Webster scored one and set up another for Daniel Fitzhenry before George Gatis scored for the visitors. Paul Cooke and Shaun Briscoe set up Chev Walker to restore the advantage before Chris Thorman's try cut Rovers' lead to six points at the break. Tries by Paul Whatuira and Rod Jensen put the Giants on top before Webster set up Fitzhenry for his second try. Hull KR coach Justin Morgan: "I would definitely say this was a point lost. We were our own worst enemy at times. We were controlling the game but silly moments let them back into it. "I think with five or six minutes to go we maybe could have pushed up a little more. We made plenty of line breaks but poor decision-making cost us." Huddersfield head coach Jon Sharp: "We were not great but we got a point away from home and that is not something this side has done a great deal of over the years. "Michael Lawrence, for a 17-year-old playing his second game of the season to come to Craven Park and handle it was exceptional. "And Rod Jensen was not at his best as he was carrying some bumps and bruises but he is still a winner."
