Hull FC snapped a four‑match losing run with a 36‑12 win over the Huddersfield Giants at the KC Stadium. Ethan O'Neill delivered two tries, while Logan Moy and Jake Arthur opened the scoring. The victory lifts Hull into ninth place, one step behind Catalans Dragons, and pushes the Giants to the foot of the table.

The Giants, who have won only twice all season, could not recover after an early Oliver Russell try. Aidan Sezer added 12 points, but a late rally fell short. Hull coach Andy Last praised the team's confidence, noting the win changes the atmosphere. Huddersfield manager Jim Lenihan warned the squad must stay mentally sharp to avoid further losses in the coming matches.

Catalans Dragons, after a heavy loss to Wigan, edged Castleford Tigers 34‑28 in Paris, their only win in five games. The victory keeps them in third place and keeps pressure on the league leaders. Hull’s win and Catalans’ rebound illustrate a widening gap at the bottom, while the Giants face a steep climb to escape relegation danger for the season.
