Huddersfield Giants secured their second consecutive Super League victory with a 34-14 triumph over York Knights. Jacob Gagai's two second-half tries proved decisive after Adam Clune, Niall Evalds, and Tanguy Zenon gave the Giants a flying start. Despite York's response through debutant Will Roberts and David Nofoaluma, Huddersfield maintained control with Zac Woolford's late score sealing the win.

In a derby thriller, Catalans Dragons edged Toulouse 33-26 in an entertaining contest at Stade Gilbert Brutus. Catalans built an early lead through tries from Toby Sexton, Leo Darrelatour, and Nick Cotric before Mathieu Jussaume sparked Toulouse's comeback. The visitors leveled at 16-16 before halftime, but Catalans reasserted themselves in the second half, ultimately holding on despite Jussaume's hat-trick.

Huddersfield's resurgence under director of rugby Andy Kelly continues their climb up the table, moving from rock bottom to 11th place after starting the season with five straight defeats. In contrast, York Knights slump to second-bottom after a fourth consecutive loss. Catalans strengthen their position in the league, while Toulouse remain in the mid-table pack with little room for error as the season progresses.
