Huddersfield have cemented third place in the Super League table after scoring a 28-10 victory against Warrington - their fourth win in a row.
Scrum-half Luke Robinson set up three tries for the home side, his display of inspired attacking helping the Giants to their 14th win of the season.
He first made his presence felt after 19 minutes by playing in substitute Paul Jackson for the game's opening try only seconds after the latter had replaced Darrell Griffin.
Warrington's defence was opened up once again soon after when Scott Moore played a one-two with Robinson, the substitute going on to cross unchallenged.
Breaking from deep, Robinson then passed several Wolves players before putting Brett Hodgson away down the right flank in the 35th minute.
Hodgson, who kicked two conversions and a penalty in the first half, also sent Leroy Cudjoe clear on the overlap for the first of the winger's brace.
Huddersfield held an 18-0 advantage at the break and it could have been more had Eorl Crabtree not stumbled just short of the try line moments before the hooter.
Disputed
Warrington had made a reasonable start but failed to capitalise on five disputed offside decisions close to the Giants' try line.
Ben Harrison broke through the Giants' defence from Michael Monaghan's pass but spilled the ball before grounding it.
However, they finally got off the mark four minutes into the second half when Ben Westwood crossed.
He too seemed to spill the ball before grounding it but the try was nevertheless given.
The Wolves also rode their luck when Richie Mathers was not sin binned following a high tackle on Robinson.
Even so, the game was Huddersfield's - a fact underlined when Hodgson again set up Cudjoe for his second try before Michael Lawrence went over late on.
Warrington gained a consolation score when Brian Carney dived over at the death and Chris Bridge converted just before the final hooter.
