Huddersfield Giants' Danny Brough joins Jon Wells to discuss their 26-19 loss to Wigan Warriors.

Danny Brough joined Jon Wells at the touchscreen to analyse Huddersfield's 26-19 loss at Wigan on Thursday night.

A hat-trick from Ryan Brierley, with all three tries converted by Brough, gave the Giants a 18-12 lead at the DW Stadium with 20 minutes remaining.

However, in a frantic finish both sides drew level before Wigan full-back Dan Sarginson produced the match-winning try in the last minute of a dramatic match to enable the Warriors to complete the double over Huddersfield.

The Giants had Nathan Mason and Aaron Murphy sin-binned during the second half and head coach Paul Anderson accused referee Joe Cobb of "succumbing to pressure".

Anderson claimed Cobb changed the way he refereed the game after being approached by Wigan's acting captain John Bateman at half-time about the ruck speed.
