TWO tries from Tui Lolohea inspired Huddersfield to victory over their bottom-three rivals, with the Giants scoring 18 unanswered points in the second half after losing a 12-0 lead by the break.
They recovered from Zac Woolford’s early sinbinning to go ahead through Lolohea’s opener, before Sam Halsall struck 31 minutes in, with George Flanagan converting both.
Huddersfield looked to be firmly in the driving seat, but a couple of scores in quick succession from George Lawler and Zac Cini helped get Castleford back on level terms, apparently changing the complexion of the contest.
However, home hopes then dwindled as Taane Milne’s superb finish put Huddersfield back in front, and late efforts from Flanagan and a second from Lolohea sealed a win which cuts the gap to the tenth-placed Tigers down to just two points.
