Rovers earn rare Headingley victory
23:45, Mar 19 2010
Hull KR recorded their first league win at Headingley for 25 years as Leeds' miserable start to Super League XV continued with a 17-10 defeat.
Liam Colbon, Peter Fox and Shaun Briscoe gave the East Yorkshire side a 16-6 lead at the interval.
Although Leeds, who have now lost four of their seven fixtures this season, managed to reduce the deficit to six points with a score from Keith Senior, the Robins held on for a memorable win.
The accurate boot of 20-year-old Kyle Eastmond denied Warrington the chance to end their Knowsley Road hoodoo as St Helens secured a 28-18 win that lifts them joint top of the table.
With both sides scoring four tries, the outcome hinged on the goalkicking of half-back Eastmond, who kicked six goals from six attempts, including two touchline conversions, and also scored a delightful solo try to underline his growing importance to Saints.
Mick Potter's men were cruising to a fifth win when they led 20-4 after 52 minutes but the Wolves ran in three tries in eight minutes to set up a grandstand finish. But Ade Gardner's second try after 65 minutes ended the fightback, condemning the visitors to only their second defeat of the season and continuing their dismal record at Knowsley Road, where they have never won in Super League.
Gareth Thomas was forced off injured on his first rugby league appearance as Crusaders recorded a 14-6 victory over Catalans Dragons in Wrexham.
The Wales rugby union legend was just half an hour into his Engage Super League debut when he was hurt in a heavy tackle. Until then the 35-year-old had barely made an impact in a dull encounter at the Racecourse Ground, but the Welsh side ultimately prevailed after tries from Jason Chan and Peter Lupton.
While an outstanding performance from veteran Australian forward Craig Fitzgibbon proved to be the difference for Hull as they maintained their 100% home record with a gritty 18-6 win over Bradford.
Two tries from Jordan Tansey and one from Lee Radford secured the points for Richard Agar's men on paper, but on a wet and miserable night, it was the sheer determination and endeavour of Fitzgibbon that dragged the home side over the line.
