Hull KR overcame a shaky first half to secure second place in Super League with a victory that ended Leeds Rhinos' hopes of reaching the play-offs. Rovers knew defeat would let in Warrington Wolves, but tries from Tom Opacic, Sauaso Sue and Joe Burgess sealed their semi-final spot.
Hull KR overcame a nervy first-half performance to secure second place in Super League with a win which ended Leeds Rhinos ' hopes of making the play-offs.
Leeds could not sustain a strong first-half effort but they had the consolation of scoring the final try through Andy Ackers.Robins set a new average attendance record for the season with a crowd of more than 9,000 but they were silenced as Leeds defended staunchly for the opening quarter and then took the lead.
The home side were without the suspended Elliot Minchella and full-back Niall Evalds, who failed a head-injury assessment last week, but they levelled the score just before half-time as Edgell dropped a high Lewis bomb and Hiku gratefully snapped up the gift. Lewis sharpened up his kicking to convert both to ensure Ackers' late score for Leeds was academic, as Rovers made it 10 wins from their final 11 regular season games.“I’m really proud to finish second in the competition the way it is, but that competition is finished now and we’ve got a new one that we’ve got to focus on.
