Hull KR are Challenge Cup finalists after their 36-12 victory over Catalans Dragons at the LNER Community Stadium in York. Here are the player ratings after another impressive display.

Jack Broadbent – 8: What an asset he is to this squad. Slots in anywhere and does the business. Got things a bit wrong for Reimis Smith’s try but barely put a foot wrong otherwise.

Tom Davies – 7: Played tough, which was exactly what his side needed from him here. A safe presence.

Peta Hiku – 7: Threatened regularly, Catalans just about dealing with him for the majority of the game.

James Batchelor – 8: Catalans went for his edge early and did get a little bit of success, but he countered it with two tries of his own.

Joe Burgess – 9: Genuinely outstanding. Took every kick, including some utterly ridiculous aerial catches. Won his rucks, scrambled defensively from one edge to another, took his try well. Exceptional.

Tyrone May – 7: Classy pass to Whitbread for the Lewis try. Defended excellently.

Mikey Lewis – 8: Not on top of every play but involved in basically every moment of note Rovers had.

Sauaso Sue – 7: Outstanding in that first stint excusing one little play the ball error.

Jez Litten – 8: Has taken his game to another level. Should be in the England squad.

Jared Waerea-Hargreaves8: Anyone talking down his performances these days are either stubborn or need to understand rugby league better.

Dean Hadley – 8: An absolute warhorse. There aren’t enough compliments to give him.

Jai Whitbread – 8: Change of position, he defended largely through the middle and provided that intensity again. Has some punch in attack at back-row.

Elliot Minchella – 8: Hands on the ball all the times, tackling everything that moves. Carried strong. Great display.

Sam Luckley – 7: Disrupted by the HIA but had a decent stint.

Jack Brown – 7: Limited minutes but did the job when on the field.

Kelepi Tanginoa – 7: Provided real threat with his line-running intent.

Bill Leyland – N/A: The game was won by the time he came on the field.
