Hull KR delivered a resounding performance, scoring eight tries to secure a convincing 46-0 win over Toulouse in the Betfred Super League, marking their third consecutive victory. The visitors' Elliot Minchella initiated the scoring, and despite having another try disallowed, Rhyse Martin successfully extended the lead to 12-0 after Toulouse failed to handle a high kick from Mikey Lewis. The team's momentum continued as they doubled their score with tries on either side of half-time, courtesy of Tyrone May, Dean Hadley, and Joe Burgess. The hosts' struggles intensified as Hull KR added more tries, with Lewis and Jez Litten contributing to the scoreline.
