Willie Peters declared Hull KR’s hard-fought 12-0 win over Leigh at Craven Park his side’s toughest of the season so far.
Rovers ground out a victory which took them third in the Super League table, moving above Warrington on points difference. A try in each half from Tom Opacic and Niall Evalds, both converted by Mikey Lewis, were enough to see off the Leopards. Peters said: “I’m extremely pleased, I think it was our toughest win of the season so far because of the way we defended. “We put ourselves under pressure at times with some unforced errors, but we defended it well.
Leigh were denied the first try of the second half as Jack Broadbent and Peta Hiku forced Ricky Leutele to lose possession as he tried to touch down. Rovers were also denied a try as Kelepi Tanginoa saw his effort chalked off for a double movement but their second with 10 minutes to go was well worth the wait. Tyrone May kept a move going and both Jai Whitbread and Matt Parcell took in passes before the latter fed Evalds and he touched down, with Lewis’ kick completing the scoring.
