FRIGHT NIGHT - BUT THEN A ROVERS PARTY
JAMES GORDON Sewell Group Craven Park, Thursday
HULL KR 28
WARRINGTON WOLVES 20
HULL KR became the ninth club to win the League Leaders’ Shield after surviving a fright at home to Warrington.
It was far from the predicted procession, with Rovers only certain they would finish top of the pile when Tyrone May crossed for a try goaled by Rhyse Martin in the 76th minute.
Warrington threatened to spoil the party from the start and two excellent Danny Walker 40-20s gave them field position.
They broke the deadlock on five minutes when Marc Sneyd’s high kick was claimed easily by Josh Thewlis, who waltzed in for Sneyd to convert.
