Hull KR solidified their position at the top of the Betfred Super League with a commanding 30-0 victory over previously unbeaten Leigh at Craven Park. The Robins showcased their formidable form, scoring four tries in a dominant first half that left their opponents struggling.
Tom Davies scored later in the match, while Mikey Lewis contributed 18 points, further emphasizing Hull KR’s title aspirations. Both teams made adjustments following their Challenge Cup victories over lower-division foes, with Hull KR remaining unchanged from their recent victory against St Helens.
The scoring opened early, as Oliver Gildart crossed the line in the seventh minute after the hosts capitalized on a Leigh error. Lewis doubled the lead in the 14th minute following a video review that confirmed his score. Despite a brief challenge from Leigh midway through the first half, where a potential try was disallowed, Hull KR extended their lead.
Lewis showcased his skills again by assisting Kelepi Tanginoa, who scored beneath the posts. The Robins led 22-0 at halftime after Lewis collected a clever chip from Joe Burgess and scored just before the break.
In the second half, Hull KR maintained their grip on the match. Following a period of Leigh pressure, Lewis added a penalty to the scoreboard. Davies sealed the comprehensive win with a second try, and Lewis expertly converted from the touchline.
Looking ahead, the Super League Round Six fixtures promise exciting matchups, including Castleford Tigers against Catalans Dragons and Leigh Leopards facing Wakefield Trinity. Stay tuned as Hull KR aims to build on this momentum in their upcoming games.
