Match report: Huddersfield Giants 22 - 6 Hull KR

Jun 6 2009 by Chris Roberts, Huddersfield Daily Examiner

Cudjoe again added the extras and the home side were good value for their 12-point interval advantage.

Welham was unlucky not to reduce the deficit three minutes after the restart when he just failed to collect a Ben Fisher grubber to the corner.

But that was as close as Rovers came to threatening the Huddersfield line as coach Nathan Brown’s men began to control the whole show.

Chances for either side may have become limited as the torrential rain made ball handling a very tricky task – although Robinson did use the wet to his advantage to help set up the Giants’ fourth and final try with 11 minutes remaining.

The scrum half spotted a gap 15m from the Hull KR line and quickly shot through.

He was aware he wasn’t going to make it, so instead dived down and slid to within inches of his target.

Quick as a flash, Moore was in at acting half-back and sent the ball out left for Whatuira to plunge over in the corner.

Cudjoe’s conversion attempt may have gone well wide of the target.

But at 22-6, the points were in the bag and a highy impressive double against a major Super League rival had been secured.

Huddersfield’s Academy side suffered a 36-10 defeat at Hull KR.

Giants’ try scorers were Elliott Hodgson and Jermaine Akadaire, with Danny Ansell adding a goal.
