Wakefield Trinity stormed to their first Super League win of the season as they overcame Hull Kingston Rovers.
Liam Kay crossed to put Wakefield ahead within a quarter of an hour and he scored a second try before the break.
Tinirau Arona extended their lead early in the second half but Rovers fought back through Adam Quinlan's score.
Ben Crooks found another try for the visitors but they left their attempted comeback too late as Wakefield touched down once more through Jacob Miller.
Victory for Wakefield, in their seventh Super League game of the campaign, gets them off the mark for the season and means Leigh are the only team without a point after they were thrashed by Huddersfield.
The hosts looked to have suffered a blow in the early stages when Arona was forced off for a head injury assessment.
He was able to return to the field, however, and later score their third try having pounced on a defensive mishap from the visitors.
Rovers came into the game off the back of some fine form, which had seem them win three of their past four matches, but they struggled as Wakefield swiftly dominated the match.
Miller, making his first appearance for Trinity since their round three defeat by reigning champions St Helens, ran in a late try for Wakefield to cap off an encouraging win.
