YET another week of rugby league has come and gone and what an enthralling round of Super League it was.
Hull KR travelled to Salford Red Devils on Thursday night to kick off the week as Willie Peters’ men cut Paul Rowley’s chargers down to size in a 24-10 victory.
On Friday night, Huddersfield Giants hosted the Warrington Wolves at the John Smith’s Stadium in their first game of the season, but they couldn’t live with the speed and power of Daryl Powell’s side with the Wolves taking home a 26-16 win.
Elsewhere at the DW Stadium, Wigan Warriors recovered from a surprise opening day defeat to Hull KR with a 60-0 demolition of Wakefield Trinity whilst Hull FC racked up their second win in as many games with a 22-18 triumph over Leeds Rhinos which saw Rohan Smith and Tony Smith go head to head for the first time.
On Sunday afternoon, reigning champions and World Club Challenge victors St Helens travelled to the Jungle to take on the Castleford Tigers where Paul Wellens’ men registered an impressive 24-6 win.
