Huddersfield Giants have moved to within a point of Super League leaders Wigan Warriors thanks to a conclusive 42-6 win over Bradford Bulls at the Etihad Stadium.

The Giants were ruthless during the first half as Dale Ferguson, Scott Grix, and Larne Patrick all went over for tries.

Danny Brough added a further six points with the boot to see Huddersfield take an 18-0 lead after the opening 40 minutes.

Ferguson scored his second try of the match on 54 minutes before Bradford got on the scoreboard soon after when Jamie Foster converted his own try.

However, scores from Shaun Lunt, Brett Ferres and Antony Mullally in the final 15 minutes put Huddersfield out of sight as Brough kicked over a total of 14 points by the full-time whistle.
