Hull KR celebrate Louis Senior’s try against Leeds
Jordan Abdull’s kicking masterclass helped lay the foundations for Hull Kingston Rovers to secure a 20-12 triumph over Leeds Rhinos in Friday’s Betfred Super League clash at Sewell Group Craven Park.
Abdull’s in-play kicks in rainy conditions in East Hull were pivotal in the Robins leading 14-0 at half time, with tries coming from Louis Senior and Sauaso Sue, and the hosts moved further ahead just eight seconds after the restart when Kane Linnett crashed over.
Luis Roberts hit back for the Rhinos with their first try soon after Linnett’s finish, but Lachlan Coote’s second penalty of the night made it a three-score game.
James McDonnell did manage a second converted try to give last year’s Grand Final runners-up a glimmer of hope with six minutes remaining, but ultimately they were left with too much to do.
