Magic Weekend result... Huddersfield Giants 34 Salford City Reds 38
Sidlow, who scored his first try of the season in last week’s 20-20 draw with Bradford, grabbed two in the final quarter to settle a pulsating encounter in which the lead changed hands six times.
Salford’s first win in four games, which keeps alive their outside play-off hopes, was tough on Huddersfield’s prop forward Eorl Crabtree, who matched Sidlow’s scoring feats with two tries in a three-minute spell that looked to have turned the game his side’s way.
