    Leigh have back-to-back sets 10 metres out.

    It comes after the ball was swatted down as a pass bounced out to Josh Charnley on the left.

    Hull KR 18-2 Leigh

    Leigh Leopards are trying everything they can to revive their fortunes in this game.

    Lachlan Lam attempts a step as he runs the ball on the last tackle, but he slips. Still the ball is worked to Robbie Mulhern, whose attempt to kick through to himself bobbles harmlessly for Hull KR to gather.

    Mikey Lewis sums up this game with his tackle on Gareth O'Brien.

    He takes the Leopards full-back down, and just swings him around before completing the tackle with a thump.

    Sam Luckley

    This is an absolute freebie!

    Leigh have absolutely folded in this first minute of the second half. Sam Luckley is the man to go over, palming off a defender to make it try number three for the Robins.

    The only thing Hull KR can't do is add the extras. Still, the hosts are buzzing.

    Hull KR 14-2 Leigh

    It's a horror start for Leigh. Gareth O'Brien has the ball hit him in the face as he tries to gather the ball from kick-off.

    Hull KR will be on the line looking for a big, big try to start the second 40 minutes.

    The hosts get the second half started.

    Will they hang on to progress to the second week of the finals, or will Leigh battle their way back?

    HT: Hull KR 14-2 Leigh

    Adrian Lam will be in the middle of one of the most important half-time addresses he will make this season.

    He will no doubt be searching for words of inspiration to pick his Leigh Leopards side up after that limp first-half showing.

    It is worth remembering that they only missed out on home advantage tonight on points difference, with Hull KR climbing above them to fourth with a big win last week.

    St Helens' James Roby and Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook will retire at the end of the season

    Veteran hooker James Roby is taking all the emotion out of his final St Helens home game, as they host Warrington in a Super League play-off eliminator tomorrow.

    Saints' record appearance maker is finally ending his 20-season career at the end of this campaign, with Saturday his 550th club game in the Red Vee.

    The 37-year-old only has eyes for a semi-final, and the chance to win a fifth straight title.

    "I'm treating it like just another game," Roby told BBC Radio Merseyside.

    "I'm not getting caught up in the whole emotion, the story and the fairytale, that sort of thing."

    HT: Hull KR 14-Leigh 2

    Well, we are 40 minutes into Super League play-off action and it has been intense viewing.

    But this is just the start of it.

    Tomorrow we have St Helens hosting Warrington, and that also promises to be a cracker.

    Two tries in five minutes late in the half has Hull KR bouncing into the changing room with a 12-point lead.

    Leigh, meanwhile, are looking lost.

    The Robins fans are loving this right now.

    Hull KR 14-2 Leigh

    Ryan Hall will get the plaudits for the finish, but that score was very much made by Matt Parcell. He rips possession from Leigh and bursts clear, only to be tackled just short of the line.

    From the next play, Hall went over.

    Ryan Hall; goal Brad Schneider

    The on-field call was try and the replays couldn't definitively tell if Leigh's Joe Mellor managed to get his hand under the ball to keep Ryan Hall from grounding it.

    It's a brilliant finish from Hall as he spins out of the tackle with four Leigh defenders around him.

    Brad Schneider makes no mistake witht he boot.

    Is Ryan Hall over? Video referee Chris Kendall is going to the replays to look at the grounding...

    Hull KR 8-2 Leigh

    Just five minutes until half-time now and Leigh are suddenly looking like a side at a loose end.

    They have spent a lot of time inviting trouble on themselves and very little threatening the try line.

    Jack Walker; goal Brad Schneider

    And the hosts have the try they so richly deserve.

    The Robins shift the ball from left to right, then James Batchelor hits the line at speed. The tackler falls off him as he pops a beautiful pass off for Jack Walker to get on the end of and finish!

    He appears to have injured himself in the process having collided with the post and limps from the field in the aftermath.

    Brad Schneider adds the extras in front of the sticks.

    Hull KR 2-2 Leigh

    Obstruction from Leigh deep in their own half hands Hull KR another penalty and what could be a big chance.

    The Robins make the metres, they search for a gap and take it to the last tackle. The kick fails to come and the ball is handed back.

    How have Hull KR not made these chances count?

    Hull KR 2-2 Leigh

    A kick from Hull KR that Leigh usher dead just about sums up how much energy is being used right now.

    The Robins really failed to put pressure on with chasers and everyone sucks down some air with a brief break in play as the Leopards collect the ball to run it back out.

    Staggering to think 25 minutes have come and gone and we are yet to see a try in this game.

    Both sides are putting in energy-sapping sets...

    Brad Schneider looks to be through for the game's first try.. but he he torn down with a brilliant try-saving tackle.

    In the end the defensive heroics weren't needed as Jack Walkers final pass drifted forward. That has got the Robins fans rocking.

    And parity is restored!

    Brad Schneider from right in front sends it over.

    That's the Hull KR man's 35th goal in 11 games for the club since joining midway through the season.
