Harlequins have moved up to fourth place in Super League after thrashing Warrington Wolves 60-8 at the Stoop.
Quins scored an amazing ten tries, including a brace for Luke Gale, while the Wolves could only manage a score each from Vinnie Anderson and Paul Rauhihi in response.
Danny Orr was the architect of Quins' comprehensive victory, scoring a try and creating three others as well as kicking all ten conversions.
The home side were 30-8 ahead at half-time but showed no mercy in the second period, running in five more tries and completing a second-half shut-out of the Wolves.
In addition to Gale, Luke Dorn, Chris Melling, David Howell, Chad Randall, Danny Ward, Karl Temata and Matthew Gafa all crossed for the Quins.
Their move into fourth in the table was aided, not only by their now-excellent points difference, but also by Castleford's first defeat in four games at home to Huddersfield Giants.
The Tigers looked like they would continue with their winning ways after tries from James Evans and Craig Huby had put them in front.
But Huddersfield took a narrow 14-12 lead into half-time thanks to a brace from David Hodgson.
Huby and Brett Ferres put Castleford back in the lead after the restart but Brett Hodgson scored and converted the all-important try to give the Giants the win 26-24.
