Round 21 Round Up
5 hrs
The Rhinos edged a tight affair at the LSV to kick-off Round 21 of the Betfred Super League.
Adrian Lam’s Leopards had started well, with two tries inside the opening quarter from Umyla Hanley and Keanan Brand, but that lead was wiped out before the break. Lachlan Miller spotted a gap to score the first, before Sam Lisone powered over to put the visitors up by two at half-time.
James Bentley’s try helped put Brad Arthur’s side into the driving seat by opening up an eight-point gap. Brand crossed for his second, but this proved in vain as Brodie Croft five minutes from time completed a big away success.
Denied earlier in the game... came back to secure that win ?

On Friday night, the Saints produced a dominant display which helped their chances of remaining in the play-offs.
Paul Wellens side pretty much killed of the contest in the first half, with tries from Alex Walmsley and Daryl Clark all converted by Kyle Feldt put them in control. Feldt had also added a penalty to put the Saints 20-0 up.

Lachlan Walmsley hit back for Trinity before the break, but Harry Robertson did well to finish for St Helens. Feldt added two tries of his own in the 34-4 success.
A strong second half performance saw Matt Peet’s Warriors keep their hopes of top spot alive.
Josh Thewlis opened the scoring for the Wolves, but this was quickly cancelled out with Brad O’Neill going over for Wigan five minutes later. A penalty in the 32nd minute from Marc Sneyd was all that split the two sides at the break.
In the second 40, the Warriors’ right edge proved lethal running in four tries. Two from Jack Farrimond, one from Zach Eckersley, who also turned provider for Liam Farrell’s try.
A good response ?

The Giants restricted the Dragons, which saw the host record their first home success in 2025. George Flanagan and Jacob Gagai both scored to put the host in control at the break.
The second half saw Huddersfield restrict the Dragons’ metres. Bayley Sironen did respond for the French side, but a penalty and a second try of the afternoon from Flanagan snubbed all hopes of a comeback.
