STEELY HULL KR HAVE A HAND ON THE SHIELD

THIS GAME had a Grand Final feel about it right from kick-off, and the action lived up to the billing with Hull KR moving another step closer to clinching the League Leaders’ Shield.
It was a low-scoring affair with the game in the balance right up until the final whistle. The Robins led 10-0heading into the final ten minutes thanks to a Dean Hadley try and three goals from Rhyse Martin.
A late try from Adam Keighran gave the Warriors a bit of hope, but they lacked a cutting edge in the final third as the Robins defended heroically to secure victory.
“It was a great win,” said coach Willie Peters. “I was really pleased with our defence. That’s what set the platform.
