Huddersfield Giants produced a five-try victory over in-form Leigh Leopards, delaying Leigh’s confirmation of a Super League play-off place. The result continues Huddersfield’s improved recent form, while Leigh remain fifth but must wait to secure a top-six finish.

Leigh led through Owen Trout after nine minutes, but Huddersfield replied with tries from Harry Rushton and Taane Milne to lead 14-6 at half-time. Niall Evalds and Cole Geyer, who scored twice, extended the Giants’ advantage despite further Leigh tries from Umyla Hanley and Robbie Mulhern; Huddersfield’s seventh win of the season was their fifth in six matches, while Leigh have two fixtures remaining.
