Ian Watson hailed Huddersfield’s “awesome win” after stunning Super League leaders Catalans Dragons with a 34-6 Challenge Cup quarter-final success in Perpignan.
Full-back Jake Connor was the star of the show with a 14-point display which left coach Watson bursting with pride. The Giants were in control from the off with that man Connor scoring first, followed by tries for Adam Milner and Adam Swift for a 16-0 half-time lead. Home head coach Steve McNamara spent the second half on the touchline trying to inspire his toothless Dragons – going so well in Super League - but could not lift his side.
“It was just a question of piecing it all together and today I thought we did that. “So far this season we’ve been learning about each other, we had eight new players in the team so everyone is finding out about their consistency and timing, and we’re slowly getting better all of the time. “The last three weeks have been great and we’re getting better each week and that’s all we speak about, improving every week.
