Hull KR continued their superb start to the Super League season after holding off a late Huddersfield fightback.

Scott Murrell gave Hull KR the perfect start with a try, converted by Gareth Morton, who then went on to add a couple of penalties.

Morton then converted Ben Cockayne's try to put Hull KR 16-0 ahead.

Stephen Wild went over just before the break and Chris Nero cut the gap further but James Webster's drop goal clinched the victory for the visitors.


  • Huddersfield coach Jon Sharp
  • "I'm extremely disappointed. We let ourselves down from a discipline point of view. It was a big step back.

    "I thought we looked little bit loose and gave Hull KR some opportunities which relieved the pressure. At no stage did we build pressure.

    "They were full of enthusiasm and looked like a typical promoted team, working hard for each other."

  • Hull KR coach Justin Morgan
  • "Winning away from home for the first time has got another monkey off our backs. It's a tough ground to come to.

    "I thought we controlled the ball better than last week. Our completion rate was probably close to 90% or over and, when you do that, you are going to go close to winning games.

    "We were very solid in defence - Huddersfield have some decent players in their side and threw plenty at us - and I thought we closed the game out very well."


    Huddersfield: Reilly, Gardner, Wild, Brown, Lolesi, Thorman, Paul, Mason, Drew, Skandalis, Nero, Crabtree, Jones. Replacements: Jackson, Griffin, Hudson, Snitch.

    Hull K R: Cockayne, Dyer, Goddard, Morton, Ford, Murrell, Webster, Ward, Fisher, Vella, Morrison, J. Netherton, Chester. Replacements: Smith, Gannon, Tangata-Toa, Gallagher.

    Referee: B Thaler (Wakefield)
