Hull KR beat Leigh Leopards 22-8 to pick up their second win on the spin in Super League.

Here’s our player ratings.

Jack Broadbent: A couple of errors from full-back including spilling a high ball. 6

Tom Davies: Made plenty of metres out of back field but didn’t find too much joy in good ball. 6

Peta Hiku: Probably the best player on the pitch. Spent much of the second half on the left wing in place of the injured Joe Burgess. 8

Rhyse Martin: Looked happy enough at centre, set up Burgess for the first. 7

Joe Burgess: Got KR moving on the scoreboard but left the field at the start of the second half through injury. 7

Mikey Lewis: An attacking force and created but made a couple of errors in defence. 7

Tyrone May: Impressed again, particularly in the first half. It was his kick that led to Hiku’s try. 8

Sauaso Sue: Committed an error or two but worked hard through the middle on his return to the side. 7

Karl Lawton: Played multiple positions on the night. Steady away. 7

Tom Amone: Keen to impress against his former club and he did catch the eye with his work rate through the middle. 7

Dean Hadley: Played the majority of the game and looked to be a safe pair of hands. Looked to take a slight knock in the second half. 7

James Batchelor: A typically steady performance in the back-row. 7

Elliot Minchella: A composed performance from the loose-forward. Never put a foot wrong. 6

Jai Whitbread: Made an impression on his return to the side. Ran hard and grabbed himself a try in the second half, too. 8

Bill Leyland: Given the chance to impress in Jez Litten’s absence and he impressed. Marked his outing with a try, too. 7

Sam Luckley : Came on late to see KR home. 6

Tevita Pangai Jr: Ran well but failed to make the impact he made last week. 6
