Try: Navarrete Goal: Aispuro-Bichet

Hull KR (12) 34

Tries: Broadbent 2, Lewis 2, Burgess 2 Goals: Mourgue 5

Hull Kingston Rovers star man Mikey Lewis inspired a comfortable win at Catalans Dragons to end the Super League leaders' two-match losing streak.

The reigning Man of Steel scored two tries and made one of Jack Broadbent's to ensure the Robins opened up a four-point lead at the top of the table, following a shock home defeat for second-placed Wigan Warriors earlier on Saturday.

Lewis suffered a head injury against Leeds Rhinos which forced him out of both that defeat and the following week's reverse at Leigh Leopards, but he returned to give shape and strategy to Willie Peters' side.

Joe Burgess added another two tries and Catalans, who found it hard to break through a solid Rovers rearguard, could only reply with a consolation from Romain Navarrete.
