Ruthless Rovers hands Leopards their first defeat of the season Leigh Leopards remain second in the Super League table but suffered their first defeat of the season as Hull KR moved three points clear at the summit. Author - Michael Haldsworth Source | Super League YouTube Since losing to Leigh at Wembley in 2023, Rovers have turned the tide emphatically, winning all six meetings between the sides. Remarkably, Adrian Lam’s team have failed to score in each of their last three encounters. Rovers have built on last season’s Grand Final appearance with a powerful forward pack and a sharp, creative backline. Once again, Mikey Lewis, the reigning Man of Steel, was at the heart of their attacking play. He scored two tries, set up another, and kicked five goals in a standout performance. But this was far from a one-man show. Rovers controlled large spells of the game and barely allowed Leigh a sight of their try line. It was a day to forget for the Leopards, who must quickly regroup a...

Dale's play-off hopes were dented slightly after this defeat Their unbeaten streak came to an end with a 3-2 home defeat to Boston United, despite a late fightback. Author - Liam C The in-form visitors took control early on, netting twice in the first half before adding a third midway through the second period. Goals from Ian Henderson and Jay Bird gave Dale hope, but they ultimately fell short. A closer look at what happened Jimmy McNulty made four changes to the side that started at Oldham, handing a debut to Michael Adu-Poku, while Ryan East, Ethan Ebanks-Landell and Jili Buyabu also came into the starting eleven. Dale started brightly, with Bird—who netted a stunner at Boundary Park, seeing two early efforts blocked. At the other end, Sam Waller had to be alert to turn a Jimmy Knowles shot wide, while Harvey Gilmour produced a crucial block to deny Jacob Hazel.

Stockport keep their automatic promotion hopes alive Isaac Olaofe scored a spectacular winner as Stockport beat Bolton to earn a double over their League One play-off rivals. Author - Josh T A huge away following from Stockport at the Toughsheet Community Stadium Wanderers, thrashed 5-0 earlier in the season, sensed little danger when Olaofe collected the ball on the left wing. However, the striker turned away from Eoin Toal before racing into the area and firing past Nathan Baxter for his 10th goal of the season after 71 minutes. Until then, Baxter, omitted from Bolton's previous 12 league games, celebrated his recall with superb saves from Benony Andresson, Kyle Wootton and Jayden Fevrier. Wanderers, who were beaten for the second time in five days, rallied late on but Josh Sheehan and top scorer Aaron Collins were denied by Stockport goalkeeper Corey Addai.
