My word. I don't know whether Chris Kendall called it or it was assigned by a touch judge.

I don't think Elliot Minchella thinks it's a forward pass and from the replay I think he's got an argument.

Set restart gives Hull KR another set of six in Leigh territory.

Tyrone May and Mikey Lewis combine to scheme.

Tom Opacic couldn't get his pass away.

Rovers come back to the middle. Elliot Minchella drifts across the line, waiting for the runner.

In comes Dean Hadley. Short, flat ball. Steamroller line. Try?

No, Chris Kendall rules forward pass. Leigh survive.

Ricky Leutele's offload again looks for Josh Charnley on the left for Leigh, but Joe Burgess pinches it and looks to get away but is tackled by Charnley.

Copped on in the tackle did Burgess and the cotton wool is out.

Away we go, Robins ball.

Ben McNamara sends up a kick to the left but overcooks it and it bounces to touch for Leigh.

You sense points could come from there.

Matt Moylan mops up a deep kick and Leigh come again.

Hull KR look for a switch to carve Leigh open on the right, but Peta Hiku can't wriggle with it in his grasp.

Before that, Josh Charnley tickled Joe Burgess' ribs with a shot that clearly had the cartilage humming. Painful.

Into the old 'arm-wrestle' here.

Hull KR do look threatening from deep, Leigh look to have a razor-sharp left side.

It was their go-to in 2023, and even with out John Asiata this evening they look good.

Hull KR motor into the Leigh half.

Kick goes up, Umyla Hanley pouches it well, but KR are up quickly to shut down any break on the counter.

They had a good look at it, but the way the ball came out was always going to be contentious.

No try for the Robins.

Kick through into the Leigh in-goal causes problems and Umyla Hanley has to mop up.

Leigh are forced back over their own line, big push and Hull KR think they've scored.

It's going to the video referee.

Sarcastic cheers from the Hull KR contingent, as referee Chris Kendall pings Leigh at the ruck, after Dean Hadley lost the ball.

It's Hull KR's turn to have a crack now.

Josh Charnley backed himself on the outside with his pace but a great low cover tackle from Joe Burgess diffuses the situation.

The Leopards are stripping Hull KR for numbers and they are getting the wingmen away.

Hull KR have sent on the destructive Kelepi Tanginoa in a bid to turn the forward battle here, which Leigh have started to edge.

Metres are being racked up with ease.

Again, the Leopards open up and over lap but brilliant cover work from Joe Burgess brings down former Wigan teammate Josh Charnley as he scampered away.

Pressure on Hull KR tells as a scruffy kick from Mikey Lewis sees Leigh squeeze up and it takes an equally off-key effort from Niall Evalds to clear the lines.

Leigh have swung the pendulum big time.

Leigh have missed the go-forward of Tom Amone in the early part of the season but he's back and wreaking havoc again.

The left-edge too is causing plenty of problems to Hull KR.

Hull KR kick out on the full from the restart, and it's double whammy.

Leigh penalty on halfway.

What do Leigh do? They alter the point of attack to see if they can catch any lazy defenders on the short side.

Hull KR switched off and they took full advantage of it. The little drop off play from Matt Moylan to Lachlan Lam created the space for Kai O'Donnell and that is a very well-worked try from the Leopards.

Hull KR are playing with such aggression and pace.

Everytime they come forward there's so much push and presence.

Tom Opacic almost barrels down the left but Leigh do well to get numbers in the frame.

The same applies on the right, but this time Niall Evalds can't keep the ball in and Leigh get a scrum inside their 40.

Look at the step from Joe Burgess, it is absolutely sensational, off his right peg, hits fresh air and it's a magnificent individual try.

That's worth the admission money straight away to watch something as good as this from a mighty fine wingman.
