JAI DOUBLE

Aussie star is unlikely try hero

- DAVE CRAVEN

UNLIKELY scorer Jai Whitbread grabbed his first-ever brace as Hull KR romped past sorry Salford.

The Aussie prop, 28, had only managed eight tries in his entire first-grade career before last night.

But he bagged a second-half double as Willie Peters' side heaped misery on the ragged Red Devils – despite losing two stars inside the opening 13 minutes.

Rovers were already without their crocked half-back pairing of Man of Steel Mikey Lewis and Tyrone May.

Peta Hiku continued as a makeshift stand-off and Danny Richardson came in for England star Lewis.
