Chris McQueen scored two tries as tough-tackling Huddersfield continued their perfect start to the season with a hard fought 26-12 win over Hull KR.
The Giants, comprehensive victors at Toulouse in the opening round of fixtures, earned their victory through five tries from McQueen (two), Luke Yates, Josh Jones and Jermaine McGillvary to join St Helens, Wigan and Warrington as unbeaten at the top of Super League.
Rovers replied through second-half tries from Brad Takairangi and Mikey Lewis but the result leaves them pointless following their earlier home defeat by Wigan.
On a pitch which held up remarkably well to Storm Eunice and a morning mixture of steady rain and snow, Oliver Russell failed to take advantage of an early penalty 40 metres out.
Huddersfield still went ahead when Rovers could not deal with a high kick from Theo Fages to the corner, allowing the ball to be helped free by Leroy Cudjoe for McQueen to cross.
Again Russell was unable to bisect the posts but, after Chris Hill had gone within a metre of extending the home side's lead and Innes Senior had caused some consternation with a well-weighted kick in goal, Yates ran onto a short Danny Levi pass for the Giants' second try.
This time Russell had no trouble adding the extras from in front of the posts and when Jones, with Senior outside him, dummied his way past a bewildered Rovers defender to score again, the home side were able to take a 16-0 lead into the break.
