HUDDERSFIELD Giants hit the self-destruct button in the most spectacular fashion to gift hosts Hull FC a dramatic Super League triumph.

All five of the home side’s tries came courtesy of errors from coach Nathan Brown’s men.

Compared to some of the recent performances, this was certainly a much-improved Giants showing.

But that really counts for very little when a lack of respect for possession makes the opposition’s task so much easier.

Had Huddersfield played it safe and simple, who knows what the final outcome could have been. A victory would surely have been a very distinct possibility.

As it was, the Giants were again left to reflect on what might have been as they lost a third top-flight clash to a late, late try, following hot on the heels of similar losses to Salford and then Widnes.

And again the Giants got off to what now seems their customary slow start.

On the first set, Danny Brough kicked the ball out on the full to give Hull the ball on the visitors’ 40.

And after then conceding a penalty, the ball was whipped out on the tap for Ben Crooks to cross in the corner, too far out for Danny Tickle to convert.

Good work from Eorl Crabtree close to the Hull line almost put Scott Moore over after eight minutes, but they weren't to be denied in the 22nd minute.

A great run from deep by Greg Eden turned defence into attack and within three plays, the ball worked out to the right for Leroy Cudjoe to show great footwork close to the line to touch down.

Brough converted and Huddersfield had the lead.

Both teams had half-chances to grab their second scores of the day before Hull struck for a second time in the 33rd minute to regain the lead when the ball was worked out to the left for Tom Briscoe to squeeze in for a converted score.

But just as the half-time hooter was sounding, the Giants gained a two-point advantage for the second time in the match.

With five seconds left on the clock, Scott Moore darted from dummy half on the hosts’ 20 and fed Brough who made further ground and then released the supporting David Faiumu to score by the posts.

Brough converted and it was 12-10.

The Giants also made a shaky start to the second half, and they were fortunate to see a try to Kirk Yeaman disallowed for a forward pass within five minutes of the restart.

A Brough 40-20 should have helped the Giants settle to the task but they immediately squandered possession deep inside enemy territory.

They then forced a first Hull drop-out, albeit off the back of a poor attacking option.

But with Hull defending their line strongly, they were unable to find a crucial breakthrough when they had the chance.

Yet that all changed on the back of a first period of Hull pressure for over 10 minutes.

A Brett Seymour attacking kick on the sicth was picked up by Kevin Brown, who made 20m before feeding Luke George to race deep inside the home side’s territory.

Although he was halted, the ball was worked to the right for Cudjoe to feed Aaron Murphy to finish off in the corner and for Brough to land an excellent touchline goal.

At 18-10, the Giants were looking good.

However, with 13 minutes remaining it wasn’t looking quite so comfortable as Aaron Heremaia marked his Hull home debut by dummying on the 20 and charging through for Tickle to convert.

Again, there were just two points in it. And three minutes later, Hull were over again after a rare Crabtree error 25m from his own line, as his offload fell to no-one and Yeaman kicked through and regathered to score, despite the best efforts of Brough.

Tickle’s goal put the hosts four points ahead.

But the England prop made amends in the best possible fashion by following up Faiumu’s neat play close to the line to collect the ball and score by the posts.

Brough’s goal made it 24-22.

The contest was still far from over, however.

Hull gained possession from the re-start, and from the subsequent set the ball was worked to the left for Yeaman to dive over.

Tickle again converted.
