Wolves stage stunning comeback win
Related Articles
03 January 2008
Michael Monaghan crossed early for the Wolves but tries from Michael Lawrence, Luke Robinson, Andy Raleigh and Rod Jensen gave the Giants a 22-6 lead.
But Wolves roared back as Stuart Reardon crossed and a brace each from Lee Briers and Andrew Bracek completed a remarkable turnaround.
Monaghan's first score in eight games gave his side the perfect start but after Michael Lawrence's first career try helped to level the scores, the Giants began to dominate and scored three further tries before the interval.
Luke Robinson's 11th try of the campaign came first on the back of a neat grubber kick from Ryan Hudson and as Huddersfield increased in confidence they posted another try just after the 30-minute mark when Raleigh finished off Luke Robinson's slick break.
Tom Hemingway added the goal and did so again just before the interval after Jensen was the recipient of a fine break that involved Paul Whatuira and Shane Elford.
The interval did Huddersfield no favours though as Warrington re-emerged to post four rapid tries and move back in front.
Stuart Reardon bullied his way over the line for a try that needed the approval of the video referee following an apparent double movement, before Briers followed that up with a quickfire second score in as many minutes after Kevin Brown misjudged a kick to narrow the deficit.
Andy Bracek then capitalised twice on a pair of errors from Jensen.
With Chris Hicks converting all four tries Warrington were quickly eight points to the good, only for John Skandalis to add to the see-saw nature of the contest with his first try of the season to bring Huddersfield roaring back into the tie but they had left themselves with too much to do despite Briers and Raleigh trading late scores.
