Last is best in try feast!

With Kirkpatrick's whistle gratefully tucked away, just four penalties were conceded in the second half - much to the Giants' benefit.

Before the interval, they managed just three tries.

After the interval, they chalked up seven, with the best saved until last.

Smith had stressed before the start of play that he wanted his side to go into their three-week break on the back of a solid performance, and with some very positive memories.

And the parting shot couldn't have been more spectacular.

In the final minute, hat trick hero Paul Reilly collected the ball close to his own line and cleverly jinked beyond the first line of defence.

He then fed debut winger Olu Iwenofu on the Huddersfield 20.

In no time at all, the former London flier was away, cutting inside the defence and quickly progressing to the halfway line.

With the cover closing in, he took his foot slightly off the gas and found the advancing Hefin O'Hare who then outpaced the defence to race away and score under the posts.

Tries don't come much better than this!
