Brough’s kicking was unerring as the hosts brushed Salford aside<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Huddersfield ran in nine tries against struggling Salford to ensure they finished the Easter programme as they began it by topping the Super League.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Reds only trailed 24-18 at half-time but were trounced after the break.<\/p>\n

Luke O’Donnell, Shaun Lunt (2), Jamie Cording, Dale Ferguson (2), Daniel Griffin, Kevin Brown and Jermaine McGillvary all scored for the Giants.<\/p>\n

Prolific half-back Danny Brough also kicked seven goals to reach 2,000 career points.<\/p>\n

Giants coach Nathan Brown made eight changes to the side beaten 32-6 at bottom club Crusaders, and it took his team 40 minutes to find their rhythm.<\/p>\n

Salford, also coming off the back of a bad Good Friday defeat, twice held a six-point lead in a seesaw first half.<\/p>\n

Reds captain Daniel Holdsworth looked a class apart as he tormented Huddersfield’s defence with his clever handling and shrewd tactical kicking.<\/p>\n

It was his pinpoint pass that sent second rower Adam Sidlow charging over for the first try after eight minutes, and he then produced inch-perfect kicks to set up touchdowns for himself and winger Mark Henry.<\/p>\n

The hosts hit back as O’Donnell and Lunt both scored from close range, and they took charge with two further scores in a seven-minute spell.<\/p>\n

Second rower Cording marked his full debut by supporting a break by David Hodgson to score his first try for the club and then second rower Ferguson went over after right winger McGillvary had collected Brough’s high kick.<\/p>\n

Henry’s try had brought the visitors back to within six points at the break but it was virtually all Huddersfield in the second half.<\/p>\n

Ferguson charged over for his second try five minutes in and, after he was held up short going for his hat-trick 10 minutes later, Lunt made the most of the position by going over for his second.<\/p>\n

Griffin proved unstoppable from 10 metres out on the hour, and Brown jinked his way over for a deserved solo try on 66 minutes.<\/p>\n

Salford grabbed a consolation try through Stefan Ratchford, who took advantage of a rare defensive error by full-back Scott Grix – on for Brough – but Huddersfield had the final say through McGillvary, with Grix adding a further goal.<\/p>\n\n

Huddersfield assistant coach Paul Anderson:<\/strong>
“We’ve a pretty big, healthy squad and credit has got to go to the young guys who came in and proved to us they are Super League players.<\/p>\n

“We believe we put a team out there that was good enough to get a result and we were proved right, fortunately.<\/p>\n

“It was a slow start to the game from both sides but, once we settled down and got a bit of anxiety out of the way, we acquitted ourselves well.”<\/p>\n\n

Salford caretaker coach Phil Veivers:<\/strong>
“From last week, where we completed at 48%, to turn around completing at 93% at half-time was an encouraging sign.<\/p>\n

“We looked after the ball and created some opportunities on the fringes so there are some positives.<\/p>\n

“But we’ve let in over 100 points in the two games over Easter so that tells the tale. We’ve a lot to address this week before we go down to London to face Harlequins on Saturday.”<\/p>\n\n

Huddersfield:<\/strong> Grix, McGillvary, Wardle, Lawrence, Hodgson, Brown, Brough, Raleigh, Lunt, Griffin, Ferguson, Cording, O’Donnell. Replacements: Crabtree, Faiumu, Wood, Molloy.<\/p>\n

Salford:<\/strong> Patten, Broughton, Gibson, Ratchford, Henry, Smith, Holdsworth, Cashmere, Godwin, Boyle, L. Adamson, Sidlow, Wild. Replacements: Jewitt, Paleaaesina, Spencer, Sneyd.<\/p>\n

Referee:<\/strong> Theirry Albert (France)<\/p>\n
