Due to the recent COVID issues and it being Challenge Cup Final weekend, Super League saw three rounds of re-arranged games take place. However, more issues surfaced which meant that the round 12 derby between Hull Kingston Rovers and Hull FC was postponed yet again.
Warriors Hold Off Giants
Round nine resumed on Friday night as Wigan Warriors made it two wins in the same week over Huddersfield Giants with a 14-12 success at the John Smith's Stadium. A close first half in the heat saw just a single score as Mitch Clark crossed for the Warriors with Harry Smith converting for a 6-0 lead into the interval.
Smith extended the lead to 8-0 with a penalty goal before Hudds got off the mark with a Will Pryce try and Oli Russell conversion for 8-6. Wigan looked to have the win sealed on 70 minutes as Liam Farrell crossed and Smith converted for a 14-6 advantage that was soon cut by Nathaniel Peteru's effort which Russell improved for what was a 14-12 final score.
Dragons Double Delight Over Rhinos
Round ten also resumed on Friday evening with Catalans Dragons extending their lead at the top with a second comeback win in the same week over Leeds Rhinos with a 27-18 victory at the Stade Gilbert Brutus. The Dragons opened the scoring with an Arthur Mourgue penalty goal for 2-0 before a Tom Briscoe brace and Kruise Leeming try saw Luke Gale convert the lot for an 18-2 advantage into the interval for the Rhinos.
The meeting between the sides last weekend saw Catalans stage a comeback and history repeated itself as Sam Kasiano, Matt Whitley and Tom Davies all crossed with a self-converted score from Mourgue and two conversions turning the game around to 24-18. Sam Tomkins swept over a drop goal for 25-18 with Mourgue wrapping up the win with a penalty for five successes with the boot in the 27-18 win.
Hull Derby Down Due to Covid
The long awaited Hull derby was delayed again due to Hull Kingston Rovers and Hull FC both dealing with COVID issues.
Red Devils Topple Trinity
Round 12 resumed with Salford Red Devils claiming a 24-14 win over Wakefield Trinity at the AJ Bell Stadium. Trinity raced into a 12-0 lead with tries from Innes Senior and Reece Lyne both converted by Mason Lino. Salford replied with a Morgan Escare try and self-converted score from Krisnan Inu who also converted the former score for 12-12 into the interval.
Lino kicked a penalty goal to restore Trinity's lead at 14-12 but they soon went behind as Inu struck again with self-converted score before adding a penalty goal for 20-14 with 12 minutes remaining. The hosts wrapped up the win three minutes later as Ken Sio crossed for a 24-14 final score.
