In a commanding performance, Huddersfield handed Castleford a 30-12 defeat at The Jungle, marking their third win of the Betfred Super League season.
This victory came as a response to their recent defeat against Catalans Dragons.
Tui Lolohea made a standout play, racing the length of the field in the final moments to secure the win, showcasing a stark contrast to Castleford's disorganized play.
Castleford's head coach Danny McGuire expressed his frustration at the officiating following a close loss against Wigan, calling it "pathetic." However, his team's shortcomings were evident in this match, particularly after they had equalized at halftime.
The Tigers failed to take advantage of a yellow card issued to Huddersfield's Zach Woolford for a high tackle on Jon Westerman early in the game.
Despite being down a player, the Giants quickly capitalized when Jacob Gagai made a break over the halfway line, setting up Lolohea for a try just six minutes in.
The conversion by Flanagan initiated a series of five successful kicks, with his scoring total rising to 14 points after a second-half try.
Throughout the match, Huddersfield maintained pressure and demonstrated a clearer strategy compared to their opponents, who struggled to find momentum.
