Hull Kingston Rovers thumped the Bradford Bulls 36‑10 at Odsal, clinching a top‑six place for the first time this season. Mikey Lewis ran in four tries, his first career quadruple, sparking the early onslaught. The result lifts the Robins into the upper half of the Super League ladder.

Bradford entered the match crippled by an injury crisis that left 13 players unavailable, including all regular half‑backs except Chris Atkin. Lewis struck twice early, then a short pass set up Tyrone May for his third and Martin Spann’s break delivered the fourth. Midway through the half, loan signing Douglas crossed for his Super League debut.

Willie Peters’ half‑time talk sparked a second‑half surge as Broadbent scored from May’s short kick and Lewis completed a hat‑trick before faking past three defenders for his fourth. Jake Martin kicked eight conversions, finishing with 20 points, while Hiku added a late try from another May kick. The win cements Hull in the playoff hunt as Bradford face a gruelling rebuild.
