Giants winger Jermaine McGillvary scored twice as Huddersfield romped to a nine-try victory to move top of the engage Super League.

The shell-shocked Bulls never recovered from gifting McGillvary the first of his tries after just 72 seconds when two Bradford Bulls players collided while attempting to reach a pass. Leroy Kudjoe pounced and sent McGillvary away into the corner.

Kudjoe added a second try five minutes later while McGillvary's kick through on 10 minutes left David Fa'alogo in for an easy score.

Bradford's miserable start was compounded on 15 minutes when Bryn Hargreaves failed to execute at the play the ball after he had been tackled in midfield to gift the Giants a scrum down.

Huddersfield piled on the misery with three more tries before the break to lead 30-6 at half-time.

Scott Grix rode two tackles and evaded three defenders on the line to register a fine solo effort, while Larne Patrick and Graeme Horne polished off slick moves.

McGillvary's second try came on 44 minutes and the scoring pace did not even slow when Huddersfield's influential Luke O'Donnell was sin-binned four minutes later for a professional foul on Brett Kearney.

Danny Brough, who converted six of Huddersfield's nine tries, added a penalty on 52 minutes.

Dale Ferguson, on his home debut, romped into the corner on 63 minutes and then Horne added his second try soon after to help bring up the half-century.

Horne's touchdown sparked a mass exit of Bradford fans, who missed a late resurgence.

Marc Herbert and Gareth Raynor both went over late on, with Patrick Ah Van converting Raynor's score to continue his impressive kicking record this season.

He has now scored 18 goals from 22 attempts after also landing a conversion in the first half when Shaun Ainscough went over on 22 minutes.
