Hull FC post biggest attendance of Super League round and Hull KR sell out again

Super League reached the halfway point of the regular season over the weekend, with Hull FC posting the biggest figure of the round. The Black and Whites recorded an attendance of 12,166 for their MKM Stadium return as Simon Grix got his first win in interim charge of the club.

Hull were well worth it, too, defeating Leeds Rhinos 18-10 to end their 11-game losing streak. The game saw some fitting tributes for the late Rob Burrow pre-match, with Liam Sutcliffe and Cam Smith laying wreaths on the pitch and Scott Taylor delivering the match ball.

Elsewhere, Hull KR announced another sell out at Craven Park ahead of their fixture against Huddersfield Giants. The Robins ran out 32-6 winners, with former Hull back-row forward Andre Savelio sent off on his Giants debut.
