Hull FC edged out Leeds Rhinos 24-16 in a fiercely contested Yorkshire derby at the KC Stadium. James Bell's early try set Leeds ahead, but Arthur's unselfish pass to Jake Connor for a try levelled the scores. Leeds' disciplinary issues, including dissent towards referee Moore, allowed Hardaker to extend their lead to 12-10 after just 17 minutes. Leeds fought back, with Lachie Miller's kick setting up McDonnell's try and a diving catch from Miller continuing the move. Ash Handley's delicate kick found Croft for Hull's equaliser, and Connor's penalty put Leeds back in front before halftime. Cade Cust's ankle-tap stopped Hankinson, but Moore penalised Hull for a high tackle, allowing Connor another penalty to extend Leeds' lead.

Hull's resilience in the second half secured the victory, moving them to second in the Super League table.
