Cudjoe's two tries helped Huddersfield to a comfortable win

Leroy Cudjoe's two tries helped Huddersfield ease past Warrington and tighten their grip on third place.

Paul Jackson opened the scoring seconds after replacing the injured Darrell Griffin, before tries from Scott Moore and Cudjoe put the Giants 18-0 ahead.

Warrington's Ben Westwood pulled a try back after the break despite seeming to spill the ball before touching down.

Further scores by Cudjoe and Michael Lawrence ensured the win, before Brian Carney bagged a late consolation try.

Huddersfield coach Nathan Brown:

"I believe St Helens and Leeds are likely to finish in the top two.

"But if we can win some more games at the back end of the season then there's no reason why we can't finish in the top four.

"We've got to build on this result though. You can't turn form on and off. We've got some momentum going at the moment and we've got to carry that through."

Warrington coach Tony Smith:

"We were a bit flat. We should have got some points early on when we had a series of penalties. That's where we should have cracked them but we didn't.

"It all clicked for Huddersfield when they brought Eorl Crabtree on. He gave them a real spark. If we had a Crabtree then the game might have been different.

"But as a team we were busted by having several players out. It's a bit disappointing that some of the others couldn't step up to the mark."
