Sky Sports pundits question the commitment and desire of Super League side

Leigh Leopards are battling with Wigan Warriors and St Helens in the top four and are above the likes of Leeds Rhinos, Warrington Wolves and Hull FC in the table.

They also defeated Hull KR at Wembley to lift the Challenge Cup trophy for the first time since 1971 so no matter what happens from here, their season has been a huge success.

But following two defeats in a row for the Leopards, it appears their season is close to falling apart.

This comes as their commitment and desire were questioned by Sky Sports pundits as they were hammered by Hull KR.

“You’ve got to question their commitment and desire,” said Phil Clarke.

Jamie Jones-Buchanan, “I know from experience when we won the Challenge Cup in 2014, it was hard. When you have adversity that motivates you and a little bit of success can do the opposite.”

This came on a great night for Hull KR who laid down a real marker early on who caused an awful lot of damage with some top notch rugby league from a much more balanced Hull KR side.

After a really strong start, Hull KR probed the line and as Brad Schneider moved across the pitch before a short ball and a great angled run allowed Shaun Kenny-Dowall to carve through and score.

After a yellow card against Leigh at Wembley which resulted in a ban, Minchella meant business as he powered over after good work from Matt Parcell.

A great player saw Mikey Lewis generate space and Ryan Hall danced down the touch line before a forward roll over the line saw him touch down.

Jack Walker was having a superb game for the Robins in a rare appearance and he linked up in a sweeping play to feed Louis Senior to score who produced a scruffy finish.

After an error from Tom Briscoe after a high kick, Lewis was on hand to take the bouncing ball and score in the corner.

The Robins then added another try with Ryan Hall devastating down the wing again before feeding the ball back inside for Shaun Kenny-Dowall to score again as the Robins gained revenge for their defeat at Wembley against Leigh in golden point.
