Hull KR secured a resounding 46-0 victory over Toulouse, marking their third consecutive win in the Betfred Super League. The visitors' Elliot Minchella initiated the scoring, and despite having another try disallowed, Rhyse Martin successfully converted to make it 12-0 after Toulouse failed to handle a kick from Mikey Lewis. The Rovers doubled their lead with tries on either side of halftime, courtesy of Tyrone May and Joe Burgess. The hosts struggled as Hull KR ran in their fifth try, with Lewis breaching the Toulouse line and setting up Jez Litten for a score.
The away team showed no mercy, capitalizing on Toulouse's attempt to spread the ball left as Peta Hiku intercepted a pass and scored. Lewis demonstrated his skill, darting through the line to set up Jai Whitbread for the seventh try, before Burgess added his second to seal a dominant win and condemn Toulouse to their sixth consecutive defeat. Meanwhile, Leigh returned to winning form with a hard-fought 18-6 victory over York in the Betfred Super League.
Adrian Lam's side had won only one of their previous four matches but emerged victorious at the LNER Community Stadium, a potentially pivotal moment in their campaign. Gareth O'Brien and Xavier Va'a exchanged first-half tries, with Adam Cook's penalty giving the visitors an 8-6 lead at halftime. Josh Charnley and Jacob Alick-Wiencke scored in the second half to help Leigh secure the win and climb to 10th in the table. Prior to kickoff, both teams had two wins from their opening seven games, with York one spot above Leigh due to a superior points difference.
Injury-plagued Leigh welcomed back some of their injured players, including former York winger AJ Towse, who produced a brilliant last-ditch tackle to deny Scott Galeano. Towse's return was marked by a testing kick, and he later played a crucial role in Leigh's victory. The away team took the lead in the 14th minute through O'Brien, but York leveled the score with Va'a's powerful drive.
York's try scorer was sin-binned for a shoulder charge, allowing Cook to regain the lead for Leigh with a penalty. The second half saw limited clear-cut chances before Towse had a scoring opportunity, but a covering challenge dislodged the ball.
This sparked Leigh into action, and they scored their second try through Charnley. Alick-Wiencke then added a third try, with Cook's kick securing an 18-6 lead for the visitors. Paul Vaughan was held up short on the away try-line as York sought a way back into the match, but ultimately fell to their fifth consecutive Super League defeat.
