Proper Rugby League   /     PSRL 20/07 Castleford Tigers vs Huddersfield Giants - Highlights

Description

In a game expected to be ultra competitive between two in-form sides, we were treated to nine tries, lead changes & a comeback as Huddersfield Giants showed perhaps they wanted this one that bit more than their hosts from along the M62. Jermaine McGillvary grabbed the Man of the Match award as his three four-pointers helped settle this game, which in both the early stages and as the first half closed out, looked like it Castleford's to lose. It's three wins in a row now for Giants, and despite an off-night for Danny Brough, who missed three straight attempts to add the extras during a period of early second-half domination from the away side, Huddersfield's supporters will only remember this as the night that secured their Super League status for another year. While Giants will head towards the split in terrific form, Castleford have now lost comprehensively to two sides below them all season in the past month, so they'll hope to put that aside next week at Widnes. Another takeaway from this positive period for Giants is the remarkable impact of Simon Woolford, who has certainly proved the naysayers wrong since arriving in the home of rugby league to replace the sacked Rick Stone. The Australian has led the once-relegation-threatened Giants into the Super 8s! Commentary in this game was by Richard Shaw-Wright & Garry Schofield.
