Tries: Donlan 2, Smith
Goals: Thorman |
Danny Brough made a huge impact on his Castleford debut, setting up two tries and scoring four goals. Waine Pryce and Gray Viane each scored two tries for Castleford as the Giants were put to the sword by the Tigers' ruthless second-half display. Pryce's opener came within three minutes although tries from Huddersfield's Stuart Donlan and Paul Smith then put the visitors in front. But Danny Ward and Adam Fletcher also went over to give Cas the points. Viane's second try was the pick of the match with Willie Manu sparking a move that ended with Pryce putting the Samoan centre over the line.
Castleford coach Terry Matterson:
"The mark of a good player is when people around him play better. Andrew Henderson was outstanding and having Danny there certainly helped him. "Danny gives us a kicking game and options either side of the ruck. It also freed Ryan McGoldrick to trouble the opposition. "We scored some tries that were game plan related, and that is pleasing." Huddersfield coach Jon Sharp:
"The final scoreline was very disappointing, as was the manner we played. Basically, we were the first team to crack. "I thought Castleford were very enthusiastic off the back of a good kicking game. Brough's kicking dominated the first half, and it forced us into errors. "I can take some positives from the first half. When we had decent field position, we scored tries."
