".................It was a confident start to the 2017 campaign for Hull KR as the Robins looked to bounce straight back into Super League after last years relegation. The Bradford Bulls were the visitors and took an early lead through Kirk, but Hefernan and Scruton (2) gave the home side an 18-6 lead. ................................................."
Thats a strange interpretation of the opening minutes. More like .....early defence from a young and barely formed Bulls side denies HKR on two occassions; precision kick from Lilley gives first points to Bulls; HKR come back strong; 6 a piece after 12 minutes.......
