It was a performance the legendary Hull KR player Phil Lowe would have been proud of, and one that exposed the current vastness of the gulf between these two cross-city rivals.
Rovers are the dominant team on the banks of the Humber, a status they ruthlessly hammered home in a blistering six-try burst in the first half, much to the crowing of the Robins who packed out Craven Park in the Good Friday sunshine. Hull, contrastingly, are a team on their knees, two heavy defeats to their bitterest rivals and the season is barely seven weeks old.
The fourth try sparked a bit of fight from Hull, though only after James Batchelor had scored in the corner and the celebrations had begun, the Black and Whites clearly unimpressed with the way events were unfolding. Peta Hiku had been the creator this time, taking a reverse pass and again breaking through the Airlie Birds rearguard far too easily. Dean Hadley would have been next across for Rovers but for a crunching, try-saving tackle from Fa’amanu Brown.
