Hull KR have become the first Super League side this year to beat every other top flight team at least once after their thumping 36-4 victory against Catalans Dragons at Magic Weekend.

Prior to Sunday’s clash, the Dragons were the only team in Super League that the Robins hadn’t bettered in 2024 – losing the two previous meetings, 36-6 over in Perpignan in Round 8 and then 15-14 at Craven Park in Round 16 via Golden Point extra time.

But in the second to last game of the annual event at Elland Road, KR never looked like losing – even when Bayley Sironen scored for Catalans to level things up at 4-4 following skipper Elliot Minchella’s opener.

Peta Hiku and Ryan Hall found their way over the line after that to hand Willie Peters’ side a 12-4 lead at the break. And come the restart, it was somewhat of a cruise to victory.

Minchella went over again, with Kelepi Tanginoa (2) and Niall Evalds getting in on the act as well as Hall, who grabbed his second of the evening.

Mikey Lewis wasn’t exactly pinpoint with the boot, kicking just two conversions from eight attempts, but it made no odds to the Robins – who sealed a win which took them back top of the Super League table and saw them achieve a quite remarkable feat.
