Huddersfield head coach Nathan Brown felt his side turned in a solid performance at The Willows as they returned to winning ways with a 34-10 win over Salford.

The victory also saw the Giants, who came into the game on the back of narrow defeats to champions Leeds and Castleford, gain revenge for their 24-4 defeat at the Galpharm earlier in the season.

Six tries in all, including a brace from Leroy Cudjoe, and five conversions from six attempts from Brett Hodgson gave Huddersfield the win. Salford could only manage two scores through Jordan Turner and John Wilshere.

Of his side's win, Brown said: "We did some parts okay. I didn't think we were far from great but we came here to get a win up and we'd say we were okay.

"I'd say it was people in key positions that weren't so good tonight so some other people in some other areas sort of rallied around and did some good stuff for us."

The Giants improved their impressive record on the road to seven wins from nine with Friday night's win, leaving Huddersfield chief Brown wishing his side could perform in a similar manner at home.

Asked if he could put his finger on what his side were doing right on the road he replied: "If I could I'd take it back to the Galpharm with the boys. I said before, last year when we won a few games away from home then and that has continued on which is good."

Brown added: "We came here to get a win up and Salford have already got us once this year and have beaten other big names so to come here and get a win is pleasing."

Salford coach Shaun McRae, who believes his side have a good opportunity to put some points on the board with seven of their 11 remaining fixtures to be played at The Willows, said: "They were just strong from the start. We needed to get a bit more possession and a bit more field position and it never happened.

"I thought they won a lot of those little battles we talk about.

"And it was going to be hard for us to get in to the game.

"But at 18-6 at half-time I was reasonably comfortable that we could improve on a few areas and threaten them.

"For a lot of the second half we didn't threaten enough but we improved.

"The scoreline might not indicate that but I thought we were a bit better in the second half. It's a disappointing result on the basis of a good week's training. We trained really well this week and I didn't see that performance in us.

"I thought they were very good, very clinical and very strong."
