HUDDERSFIELD Giants are top of Super League XVIII – despite producing some ‘pathetic’ play!
That was the view of head coach Paul Anderson after watching his side stroll to a 34-6 victory over London Broncos.
Hooker Shaun Lunt scored twice as Huddersfield powered to their second win of the new top-flight campaign after scoring six tries in total.
But with the Giants failing to match the standard set in last week’s stunning 40-4 win at St Helens, Anderson was far from impressed.
“We were just about or slightly below average and, frankly, some of our play was pathetic,” said the coach, who did feel Danny Brough led by example
“The way this team is set up is to be direct. But for long periods we decided to play the touchline not the tryline.

“We’ve got a group of disappointed people in the dressing room after a 34-6 win, which shows where we’re at.
“But we’re all about ‘improvement’, and that’s something we obviously failed to do.
“The aim from today is to make sure we keep improving again on a daily basis.”
He added David Faiumu was briefly knocked unconscious in the first half and confirmed Jason Chan was put on report for an alleged spear tackle after the break.
But he hopes to have both men available for Sunday’s home fixture against Wigan.
“Fuey had a bit of a sleep out there, and we’ll keep a close check on him,” he added.
“All being well, he should be okay for next week, as should Channy.
“I’d be surprised if they found he had a case to answer.”
