RHINO CHARGE

Arthur's troops trample all over leaders KR

- by MATTHEW SHAW

LEAGUE leaders Hull KR were taught a lesson by Leeds as Brad Arthur's assault on second place went up a notch.

The Rhinos produced an utterly dominant first-half performance, and the Robins had no answer to them as they were dealt a punch to the nose on their route to a first ever League Leaders' Shield.

For Rovers, this may prove to be a timely warning shot. They will soon complete a domestic double, with only a catastrophic end to the season threatening that.

But this was a stark reminder that any letup will be punished.

Things started disastrously for Rovers when Sauaso Sue was helped off the field with a knee injury inside three minutes. In truth, they never recovered.
