- St Helens 6-42 Hull KR
- ‘We know what Joe is capable of … he is class’
Willie Peters refused to get carried away by Hull KR’s first win at St Helens in 11 years but was full of praise for four-try winger Joe Burgess.
Rovers’ pursuit of a first League Leaders’ Shield gained further momentum with an eight-try, 42-6 demolition of an understrength Saints’ side who finished with 12-men after Tommy Makinson’s late red card. A club-record points total against the Saints took Rovers two points clear of Warrington and Wigan with four games of the regular Super League season remaining.
