Hull KR Dominates Toulouse with Eight Tries, While Leigh Secures Crucial Win Over York
Hull KR secured a resounding 46-0 victory over Toulouse in the Betfred Super League, with the team scoring eight tries to claim their third consecutive win. The visitors took an early lead through Elliot Minchella, and despite having another try disallowed, Rhyse Martin extended the lead to 12-0 after Toulouse failed to handle a high kick from Mikey Lewis. The Rovers doubled their score with tries on either side of halftime, with Tyrone May and Joe Burgess contributing to the tally. The team showed no mercy, with Peta Hiku intercepting a pass and running the length of the field to score, while Mikey Lewis set up Jai Whitbread for the team's seventh try. Joe Burgess added his second try to complete a dominant performance and condemn Toulouse to their sixth successive defeat. Meanwhile, Leigh returned to winning ways with a hard-fought 18-6 success over York. The team had won only one of their last four matches in all competitions before coming out on top at the LNER Community Stadium. Gareth O'Brien and Xavier Va'a traded first-half tries, but Adam Cook's penalty gave the visitors an 8-6 halftime lead. Josh Charnley and Jacob Alick-Wiencke scored in the second half to help Leigh grind out the victory and climb to 10th in the table.
