Leigh shock Hull KR

Leigh have taken a giant step towards securing a place in next season's Super League by beating Hull KR 25-18.

Leigh took a giant step towards securing a place in next season's Super League with a 25-18 win at Hull KR.

It was their fourth win from four games in the Middle 8s and the defeat was another embarrassment for Rovers who issued a statement prior to kick-off stating that Albert Kelly had been suspended for returning to the club late following a trip back to Australia.

Rovers started strongly posting a 12-0 lead, but they were blown away by Leigh who scored 22 unanswered points to take control of the game.

The game was in the balance right up until the closing stages but Leigh showed great character to close out for the win that maintains their 100 per cent record of four wins from four.
