Hull KR delivered a commanding performance on the road, overwhelming Toulouse Olympique 46-0 in a one-sided Super League clash. The reigning champions showcased their attacking prowess with eight tries, securing their fourth consecutive victory and a crucial clean sheet.
Elliot Minchella ignited the scoring spree early on, capitalizing on a precise pass from Jez Litten to cross the line. Rhyse Martin and Dean Hadley extended the lead before halftime, putting the Robins firmly in control at 18-0.
The second half saw Hull KR continue their dominance. Joe Burgess and Litten added to the tally, while Peta Hiku celebrated his recent contract extension with a spectacular intercept try from long range. Jai Whitbread and Burgess, with his second of the match, rounded off the scoring, highlighting the team's relentless offensive pressure.
This result marks Toulouse's sixth straight Super League defeat, a stark contrast to their promising start to the season with two early wins. Hull KR's victory propels them to sixth in the standings, while Toulouse slips to second from bottom.
"I'm really proud of that performance," said Hull KR head coach Willie Peters. "Keeping them to nil is the best part. We haven't had one this year, so it was nice to get our first. They're a good attacking team, but we kept them away for long periods and took away their threats."
Hull KR will look to maintain their momentum as they visit Bradford Bulls next Saturday. Toulouse, meanwhile, faces a quick turnaround, traveling to York Knights on Thursday in search of their first Super League win since late February.
