ROBINS TOPPLE ANOTHER GIANT
MARK CHESTNEY Sewell Group Craven Park, Saturday
HULL KR 40 ST HELENS 20
HAVING seen off Wigan last weekend, the Hull KR put St Helens to the sword at Fortress Craven Park in front of another sell-out crowd, running in seven in a truly dominant display to go fourth in the Super League table.
Rovers were forced into making a pre-match change as Oliver Gildart pulled up in the warm-up with a knee injury and was replaced by debutant Jack Broadbent five minutes before kick-off. Otherwise Rovers went into the game with the same side that had beaten Wigan.
Saints were also forced into changes when winger Tommy Makinson came down with chicken pox in the week, his place taken by Tee Ritson for his first appearance of the season. Once again coach Paul Wellens started with Moses Mbye at hooker with Daryl Clark on the bench.
