Overview

• Jez Litten swung the contest with a second‑half try and was hailed by Hull FC coach John Cartwright as the major difference between the sides.
• Noah Booth, drafted in after Joe Burgess was withdrawn with a calf issue, scored the opening try to set Rovers on their way.
• A fiery derby featured sin-bins for Yusuf Aydin, Elliot Minchella and Jordan Rapana, with Willie Peters alleging deliberate targeting of Mikey Lewis.
• Hull KR can be denied first place only if they lose both remaining matches, Wigan win both, and a points swing of over 100 materialises.
• Hull FC sit one point outside the top six with two games remaining and now need results to fall their way to sustain a play-off push.
