Last year’s treble winners have added the World Club title <\/a>this season with their triumph over Brisbane Broncos last month, but that sandwiched successive league defeats.<\/p>\n

The shock loss to newcomers York Knights and the 58-6 hammering by Leeds Rhinos in Las Vegas<\/a> have left them playing catch-up in Super League and they started this game, bottom of the table and already eight points adrift of early leaders Wigan Warriors.<\/p>\n

But Gildart’s try inside three minutes got them up and running at the Accu Stadium. Jez Litten dropped the ball with a try begging, but shortly after, winger Davies produced a smart finish in the corner.<\/p>\n

Huddersfield finished 10th last year but began that campaign with 10 straight defeats and they have started this one on the wrong foot as well.<\/p>\n

That was evident in handling errors within their own half, which handed the ball to their opponents and from Tyrone May’s miss-pass, Burgess walked one in.<\/p>\n

Lewis scored the try of the game shortly into the second period with a trademark individual effort as he danced and dummied his way over after picking the ball up just inside the Huddersfield half.<\/p>\n

The Giants eventually got on the scoreboard when Flanagan brilliantly caught Tui Lolohea’s high kick and touched down, but it came at a cost as the full-back, the scorer of five of his side’s eight Super League tries in 2026, injured himself on landing.<\/p>\n

And it was only a temporary blip for the Robins as Davies rounded off a slick handling move and Lewis grabbed the final try, accelerating his way over.<\/p>\n

But as Super League takes a break for a week, these two sides will resume action next Saturday as they meet again at the same ground in the last-16 of the Challenge Cup (15:00 GMT). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Last year’s treble winners have added the World Club title this season with their triumph over Brisbane Broncos…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":464726,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[5903,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-465223","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-rugby","tag-rugby","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/465223","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=465223"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/465223\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/464726"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=465223"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=465223"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=465223"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
