The road to Old Trafford is long and fraught with danger but Hull KR are forcing their way to the front of the queue.
A week on from downing defending Super League champions Wigan Warriors, Rovers dished out the same treatment to the most successful club of the summer era to send another message to their title rivals. Willie Peters' side not only beat St Helens – the champions in four of the past five seasons – they hammered them in a performance that showcased their attacking strike.
The veteran winger was made to pay a second time when Jonny Lomax put Waqa Blake over in the corner. Saints looked dangerous every time they entered KR territory but were struggling to contain the home side's array of threats. Not for the first time, Broadbent bamboozled St Helens defenders with dazzling footwork to set Kelepi Tanginoa free, only for the back-rower to miss the mark with his pass to a supporting Lewis.
