Hull KR vs Catalans: Challenge Cup winners demolish French side as Castleford shock Hull | Rugby League News

The Hull Ramper KR raised the shoulders of all the fears of a final wooden mouth of the challenge of the challenge while they demolished the weak Catalans Dragons 68-6 to tighten their grip in the foreground of the Betfred Super League.

In the middle of a festive atmosphere in Craven Park, Rovers ran in 12 tests, including a Weather Mikey Lewis’s hero, to sink the French side, who collapsed to their heaviest defeat and sent Captain Ben Garcia for a moment of madness in the middle of the first half.

The Catalans arrived at East Hull on a series of three games without scoring a point and they started to establish a new 313 -minute super League record before Luke Keary finally broke the unwanted sequence after the break.

The extent to which their season takes place since the recent departure of head coach Steve McNamara was underlined by a desperate display in the first half that saw Rovers seize all the opportunities available to increase their potentially crucial points difference.

Head coach Willie Peters has made three changes to his departure program of Wembley, notably in the restaurant of the former background of the Catalans, Arthur Mourgue, who responded by cutting 10 of the 12 attempts to conversion against his former club.

After an early fear, when Garcia was kept above the line, Rovers began to add to the optimistic sensation, Tom Davies starting where he stopped last week by moving for the opener.

After Jez Litten and Tyrone May May combined to send James Batchelor to gallop for a second, the Catalans began to collapse spectacularly, Franck Maria the first of many culprits when he made a sign of Saaso Sue for the third in Rovers, then was quickly sinning for a high hob.

Maria’s buffoonemeries had nothing on the normally reliable Garcia, who first punched Elliot Milchella then Lewis in quick succession, triggering a mass fight and winning an inevitable red card which briefly saw the French side until 11.

Kelepi Tanginoa crossed for the fourth and the superb Lofted pass from Lewis was rejected inside by Noah Booth so that Jack Broadbent passes for number five.

Batchelor crossed paths for his second before Lewis had a test just before the interval after another Catalans calamity, the great-back Guillermo Aispuro-Bichet completely missing a kick attempt and allowing Wembley’s star to sneak.

By dragging 38-0 at halftime, there would be no respite for the Catalans, who were more late when Sue crossed for his second and his team.

Keary has at least watched over the Catalans avoided the humiliation of becoming the first high-flying club not to mark in four successive games when he took advantage of a rare hole in the rear guard of Rovers on time.

But the hosts were relentless. Lewis returned before Mourgue gives him a kick to the brand of the half-century, then tries more Booth, I Whitbread and May had Catalans with shell shocking praying for the final hooter.

Castleford ensures that the miserable Home Run of Hull continues

The Hull Hoodoo at home continued after falling to a 22-14 defeat against Castleford while the Tigers only won their fourth victory of the season.

The tests of Innes and Louis Senior, Daejarn Asi and Tom Amone, as well as three successful conversions of the former half-back of the former Halcs, Rowan Milnes, extended the sequence without victory of the Black and Whites at the MKM stadium.

This is now 10 defeats and a draw in all the competitions since their last victory on their own patch against Wigan 11 months ago, despite the two late trials of Lewis Martin who set up a tribune final.

Every seven Hull victories this year were on the road – including their last two in Leigh and the Catalans Dragons – and if they had broken their duck at home, they would have reached fourth row.

But they were out of the rhythm of the big spells before a late push against Castleford, who had won once the season, who had only won the season against his compatriot against Huddersfield.
