MILLER’S THRILLER WINS IT FOR LEEDS
HULL KR 8 LEEDS RHINOS 14
ARINDAM REJ Sewell Group Craven Park, Sunday
LACHLAN MILLER finished off a breathtaking attacking move by Leeds for the decisive try as they inflicted a rare defeat on leaders Hull KR.
Rovers had been 8-0 up at half-time and should have been further clear -but there was a blow for them with key man Mikey Lewis failing a head-injury assessment in the first half while Rovers led 8-0.
That was followed by a brilliant Leeds fightback in the second half which included them defending strongly to repel the Robins before producing the necessary magic on the way to third place in Super League. They combined expansive attacking, including targeting Rovers’ right edge, and resolve on the way to sending Hull KR to only their second defeat of the season.
Hull KR had been looking to capitalise on Wigan Warriors’ defeat against Leigh Leopards in the race for the League Leaders’ Shield - but instead the gap at the top stayed at four points.
