Hull KR strengthened their third-place position in the Betfred Super League with a 22-8 victory over Leigh Leopards at Craven Park. Despite an error-strewn performance, first-half tries from Joe Burgess and Peta Hiku put the hosts in control, with Hull KR shrugging off their Challenge Cup final disappointment to secure back-to-back wins.

Wakefield Trinity returned to form with a comprehensive 36-10 rout of Hull FC, scoring six tries in total. Tom Johnstone crossed twice within the opening 15 minutes while Max Jowitt maintained flawless kicking accuracy. The visitors capitalized on disciplinary issues, including sin-bin incidents, to dominate proceedings.

Both results carry significant weight in the playoff race, with Hull KR consolidating their top-three status while Wakefield moved clear of the relegation zone. Leigh's defensive frailties and Hull FC's indiscipline cost them dearly against organized opposition.

The contrasting performances highlight the competitive nature of Super League, where momentum shifts quickly. Hull KR's gritty resilience and Wakefield's attacking prowess suggest both clubs are trending in opposite directions as the season intensifies.
