Hurrell Super League heroics all in vain

Konrad Hurrell's four-try display proved in vain for Leeds as Hull KR got back to winning ways with an entertaining 45-26 triumph at KCOM Craven Park.

Hurrell crossed twice in each half during a stellar performance but Rovers will have Craig Hall and the returning Danny McGuire to thank as they guided their side to a seven-try victory which kept the 2017 champions at the foot of the Super League table.

Tommy Lee, McGuire, Will Oakes, Mitch Garbutt and Junior Vaivai all crossed for Rovers in a dominant first half, with Hurrell's brace making the score 31-10 at half-time.

Brad Singleton scored 10 minutes after the restart for the Rhinos and Hurrell completed his hat-trick to give Leeds real hope of a comeback.

Josh Drinkwater bundled his way over for the hosts to end Leeds' challenge and, despite Hurrell's late fourth, Hall's eighth goal and Ben Crooks' try in the dying seconds sealed the Robins' first success in four matches.
