Hull Kr extinguished the lively struggle of the 12-member Hull FC when the victory of Derby 28-14 expanded its lead on the top of the Super League Betfred to three points.
The Cade CUST red card for dangerous arthur Mourgue and attempts by Oliver Gildart, Peta Hika and Mourgue seemed to have settled 49 before the half.
Hull FC, who got 16-4, had more ideas and organized a remarkable return of the second half, when two unanswered attempts by Tom Brisco and Jordan Rapan reduced the deficit to two with 20 minutes and the remaining 20 minutes and left the most likely victories.
But two attempts in three minutes from James Batchelor and Jared Waerea-Hargreaves struggled to control the good competition when Hull Kr returned to the winning journey after their first defeat of the Wigan season.
The seventh victory in eight matches maintains the position of Hull KR at the top of the Super League and provides a slim advantage of 25-24 over Hull FC in the overall Derby ranking in the Super League era.
Hull Kr Winners After Breathing Hull FC Derby
The punishment and mistakes were in the wild opening of eight minutes dominated by defense, before the first moment of quality they saw the first hit Hull Kr.
Mikey Lewis took advantage of the numeric advantage on the short side with the show-and-go before he released Oliver Gildart, who had the pace to avoid Tom Brisco and into the corner.
The eagerness of the Hull FC would react would prove to be chamfering, with the Cust to break the shoulder into the jaw of Mourgue and at the same time chasing a kick to the goal in the goal, because black and white were rightly reduced to 12 men just after a quarter of an hour.
It took Hull KR for three minutes to get his male advantage for use, PETA HIKU applied the finishing touch to another attack inspired by Lewis after the ball passed Gildart and J Burgess to put salt into the FC wound.
Jack Ashworth, at the wounded Ed Chamberlain, gathered Grubber to get the FC torso on the scoreboard with its first connection, but Hull KR would have the last word about half, Mourgue added their third attempt to achieve the interval with the advantage of two scores.
However, the John Cartwrighta party was not from it, because Hika was stolen after the captain’s height, allowing Airlie birds to work the ball on the right side and get Briscoe in the corner.
Another successful challenge of the captain for hosts was followed by Rapan Scything through the defense, shrugging several challenges, to try, while Pryce finished his first conversion.
The atmosphere reached a fever because the difference between the sides was two points, but the Rovers pulled the wind out of its rivals with the converted attempts from Batchelor and Waerea-Hargre.
Tyrone May managed to recycle the ball and Batcheloor ran several equipment at 65. minutes, while a moment later Waerea-Hargreaves, who announced this week that he would leave at the end of the season, founded Lewis’s high kick after Brisco insolent.
