ELLIOT HAS ROVERS SITTING PRETTY

- DAVE CRAVEN

ELLIOT MINCHELLA helped fire Hull KR back to Super League's summit but boss Willie Peters insisted: "We expect it."

Champions Wigan briefly reclaimed top spot with Saturday's Magic Weekend rout of St Helens.

But Rovers pitched up at Elland Road to produce their own demolition act yesterday, proving undoubtedly that they are genuine title contenders.

Captain Minchella (2), Ryan Hall (2), Kelepi Tanginoa (2), Peta Hiku and. Niall Evalds all scored tries against a Catalans side hoping to lift up to fourth.

But the shambolic French outfit, despite trailing just 12-4 at the break, were blown away by 32 unanswered points.

They were left grateful that Mikey Lewis who made a biting allegation against Cesar Rouge - had an off-day with the boot.
