You could have written it so differently
leeds strugg;led against a badly depleted Huddersfield Giants. Injury had robbed them of six first team players including the reinging man of steel Brett Hodgson, the powerhouse prop Keith Mason and inspirational hooker Brad Drew. This was compounded when they lost Paul whatuira with a hamstring niggle before kick off.
Leeds came back strongly in the second half when they were piggy backed up field by a succession of silverwood penalties and were lucky to go in at half time with a six point league as the ref and tochjudge missed two forward passes in the build up to Leeds third try.
In the second half the Leeds forwards failed to stand up to the pressure of the Huddersfield pack. this was epitomised when Ryan bailey as the third man in threw a punch which led to ali lauititi being erroneousley sin binned following a confrontation with Andy Raleigh.
In the second half Leedsw ere unable to break down a well organised Huddersfield defence and proved incapable of ekeping out the giants who scored 3 times to record a fully deserved win.
