Lowly Huddersfield beat out-of-sorts Warrington

Betfred Super League

Warrington Wolves (6) 16

Tries: Sneyd, King, Jake Thewlis Goals: Sneyd 2

Huddersfield Giants (14) 24

Tries: Gagai 2, Bibby, Milne Goals: Flanagan Jr 4

Struggling Huddersfield held on for just their second Super League win of the season as Warrington's attempted comeback fell short.

The away side took the lead through tries from Jacob Gagai and Jake Bibby before Marc Sneyd got the hosts on the scoreboard.

Taane Milne's score helped the Giants to reassert their advantage after the break before Gagai's second of the day put the visitors three scores in front.

Toby King quickly got the Wolves back in the game and Jake Thewlis' spectacular finish gave them brief hope but Sneyd could not convert the goal and the Giants claimed the win.

Sam Burgess' men, beaten in the Challenge Cup final by Hull KR two weeks ago, have now won two of their past nine Super League games.

Wakefield's impressive win over second-placed Wigan on Friday means the Wire are now four points off the play-off places with 15 games gone.

Huddersfield, whose only previous win this year came against Hull FC at the start of May, move two points clear of bottom side Salford.
