Record Robins win, late drama at the LSV, and Saints storm to victory in Part Two of the Super League Split Round...

Hull KR secured a record Super League win against Salford Red Devils on Thursday night, as they defeated their opponents 12-74.

Joe Burgess scored four of the Robins’ 14 tries, while magic Mikey Lewis produced a mind-blowing eight try assists and scored a try of his own, as his side registered back-to-back wins and went back to being four points clear at the top of the Betfred Super League table.

Jez Litten, Rhyse Martin and Tom Davies also completed doubles, with Sauaso Sue, Arthur Mourgue and Jack Broadbent making up the rest of the scoresheet as a ruthless Robins piled on the points.

On Friday, Leigh Leopards hosted Warrington Wolves and Castleford Tigers travelled to face St Helens.

The Leopards continued their winning run with a dramatic late fightback at the Leigh Sports Village, in turn putting a huge dent in the Wolves' Play-Off hopes.

Warrington were the better side for large parts of the game and led at half-time through Matty Dufty's try, assisted by a stunning run from Josh Thewlis.

One of the greatest assists you'll ever see ?

His brother Jake Thewlis then crossed five minutes after the interval to take the visitors 12 points clear before Umyla Hanley brought things back to within a score.

Marc Sneyd's superb penalty kick from the halfway line put the Wolves 16-8 ahead with 10 minutes remaining, but Hanley dotted down again before Owen Trout powered over for the match-winner (20-16).

THEY'VE DONE IT ?

Part Two of the Super League Split Round then concluded with a convincing win for the Saints.

As a result, Paul Wellens' men leapfrog Leeds Rhinos into fourth place on points difference with seven rounds left to play...
