Overview
- Hull KR won 20-16 over Leigh Leopards to extend their streak to eight straight victories and move up to fourth in the Super League table.
- Returning fullback Arthur Mourgue scored on his first game back from a February pectoral rupture before leaving late while holding the same area, with assessment to follow.
- Peta Hiku, Tom Davies and Mourgue scored KR’s tries, while Jacob Alick-Wiencke, Josh Charnley and Jack Hughes crossed for Leigh.
- Selection shaped the contest as Joe Batchelor sat out under concussion protocols, Rhyse Martin started and kicked four goals, and Karl Lawton got the nod over Jez Litten at hooker.
- A pre-match downpour left a slick surface that drove handling errors for both sides and helped keep the score tight throughout.
