Leigh Leopards secured a convincing 42-6 victory over Hull FC, marking their fourth win in five Super League matches. Adrian Lam's side moved to seventh place but closed the gap on the top six to just two points, maintaining their Grand Final ambitions with a performance that showed growing confidence as the season progresses.

Hanley orchestrated the attack with exceptional vision, delivering a pinpoint assist for Charnley's second try before setting up his hat-trick with an electrifying burst of pace. The only blemish on Hanley's otherwise faultless display came when he missed a conversion, continuing Leigh's kicking struggles as Adam Cook also struggled with the tee.

Hull FC's miserable weekend worsened with full-back Davy Litten suffering a medial ligament injury in training, facing six weeks on the sidelines. The loss marked Hull's fifth defeat in their past six Super League outings, leaving Andy Last's side with no immediate solution to their ongoing struggles and mounting injury concerns.
