Super League: Huddersfield Giants, Leeds, Bradford and Hull FC win, Hull KR thrashed, Castleford beaten

Craig Kopczak is stopped in his tracks for the Giants.

Huddersfield 62 Widnes 6

Huddersfield roared back to winning ways with an 11-try rout as Widnes paid a heavy price for fielding an under-strength team.

Vikings coach Denis Betts made six changes to the side that beat Warrington 38-22 on Good Friday and saw his inexperienced line-up cut to pieces by the ruthless Giants.

Inevitably, skipper Danny Brough was at the heart of Huddersfield’s impressive display, creating a hat-trick of tries for left winger Aaron Murphy and contributing 22 points on his own with a try and nine goals.

Hull KR 6 Wigan 84

Blake Green’s hat-trick against his former club helped Wigan Warriors hammer Hull KR at Craven Park.

Pat Richards contributed 28 points as the Warriors blew Craig Sandercock’s side away with ruthless efficiency.

Wigan outscored Rovers by 15 tries to one as the Super League leaders laid down a marker in East Yorkshire.

St Helens 48 Castleford 18

St Helens prop Josh Perry celebrated his first tries for the club as Super League bottom side Castleford crashed to yet another defeat.

Perry - arrested last year while doing a ‘naked challenge’ as a forfeit for a tryless season - touched down twice as rampant Saints crossed nine times to pile on the misery for the Tigers.

Another forward, Joe Greenwood, also scored two as the Tigers put up little resistance on their way to a sixth successive loss.

Mark Flanagan, Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook, Tommy Makinson, Adam Swift and Jordan Turner also claimed tries while Makinson added six goals from nine attempts.

Wakefield Wildcats 22 Hull FC 34

Hull FC got back to winning ways at the expense of the Wakefield Wildcats.

Bradford Bulls 36 Salford City Reds 24

Bradford Bulls continued their promising start to Super League with 36-24 victory over Salford at Odsal.

Catalan Dragons 12 Leeds Rhinos 27

Leeds ended Catalans unbeaten home record with a backs-to-the-wall victory that saw them on the wrong end of the penalty count and down a man after the dismissal of Ryan Bailey in the 48th minute.

Catalans struggled in wet conditions as they continually dropped the ball at crucial times with Zeb Taia, Louis Anderson and Jamal Fakir all accountable with unforced errors.

Kevin Sinfield led the way with 15 points as the Rhinos bounced back from the disappointment of drawing their last game against Bradford with a superb victory achieved in spite of Bailey’s removal for a late, shoulder high challenge on Thomas Bosc.
