Super League: St Helens 10-20 Hull KR

Hull KR continued their undefeated run in the Super League this season, defeating St Helens after a fierce battle at the Totally Wicked Stadium, ending their quest for a first win of the season. This victory further solidifies Hull KR's position as a top contender in the league.

Mikey Lewis scored for Hull KR shortly after returning to the field, but the Saints responded after 30 minutes with a try from Curtis Sironen. Subsequently, Tom Davies leaped into the corner just before halftime, swinging the game advantage back to the visitors. Oliver Gildart then scored two tries in two minutes, extending the lead further. These quick scores demonstrated Hull KR's offensive capabilities.

Jack Welsby's try narrowed the gap for the home side, but it was too late. Hull KR ultimately took the crucial two points and moved to the top of the league table. This match was one of many high-quality games this season, and the contest between two highly anticipated rivals did not disappoint. The intensity and skill on display were a testament to the quality of the Super League.

The Saints had established a leading position with a series of outstanding performances in the 2025 season, and this game was the first real test they faced. Hull KR's resolute defense and sharp attack demonstrated their strength to compete for the trophy again this season. The Saints made some uncharacteristic defensive and kicking errors early in the game, allowing the visitors to capitalize. Lewis seized the opportunity, charging in to score after Kyle Feldt cleared a high kick, giving Hull KR the lead.

St Helens coach Paul Wellens said in an interview with BBC Merseyside: "Tonight's game showed us where we are. We need games like this to understand our own situation. I don't think we're far from our goal, but we're not at the level we need to be yet. Losing a home game is obviously disappointing, but we can identify areas for improvement, especially in important games against stronger teams in the league. We had difficulty controlling the ball in the first 25 minutes or so, but I think the way we withstood their attack was excellent, which gives us confidence for the future."

Hull KR assistant coach Danny Ward said in an interview with BBC Humberside: "This was an incredible effort. The defense in the first half was the best we've played this year. We pride ourselves on our defense. In the first half, we used our defense to drive our offense, laying the foundation for the game. The whole team went all out on the defensive end, and at the end of the game, when the Saints launched an all-out attack on us, we showed tenacious resilience. We withstood the attack of a strong Saints team, and it was a very satisfying game."
