Leeds stun Super League leaders Hull KR to spark life into title race

With 10 rounds to go, Super League had threatened to become a tad dull at the top – not any more

Every win results in the same amount of points and every round in Super League has the same level of importance attached to it. But as the Leeds Rhinos players punched the air in jubilation at full-time here, you could not escape the fact that this was a statement result on a significant weekend for the whole competition.

With 10 rounds to go, Super League had threatened to become a tad dull at the top. Hull KR and Wigan, considered the best two teams by a distance, were streaking away towards the playoffs with few giving anyone else a chance of beating either in a semi-final to make Old Trafford.
