Audit and Stories Barrie McDermott Super League: Hull Kr Flyight, Leigh Leopards succeeding and some care for Warrington Wolves

With a super league really shapes, Sky Sports Rugby LeagueBarrie McDermott dissects the main points of conversation – and browsing stories that follow for the fifth round …

The fourth round began with an exciting competition in which both sides went with a point. Hull FC showed the resistance after the hard start of the season, while Leigh showed his usual attacking flair, but could not put the game in bed.

The draw probably felt like an honest outcome, and both teams still seek consistency.

Hull Kr pulled out a great victory in St. Helens. Their aggressive defense and tactical striking game frustrated the saints who watched in the attack synchronized.

Rovers’ discipline and smart game management allowed them to take advantage of all the mistakes, ensuring a well -deserved victory.

The second match on Friday night saw that Castleford had finally achieved his first victory in the season, sanding him in physical competition.

Salford’s attack, usually fluid, fought against the decisive defensive effort of Castleford. The tigers have shown more energy and urgency, while Salford will be disappointed with the lack of attacks.

The defense battle in France saw the Catalan edges of Leeds in the affair with small points. Wet conditions played a role, but Leeds’s lack of attack structure was worried. The Catalans controlled the territorial battle and rhinos, until the nosoroses never looked like they were breaking.

Circle shock! Wakefield, widely intended for fighting, was startled by Warrington with the dominant screen of the second half. Warrington’s defense fell under pressure, while Wakefield energy and smart game led to huge upset.

Other Vegas stars, Wigan, were simply too good. Their speed and execution in the attack were ruthless, while Huddersfield could not stand the pressure.

Bevan Franch and Jai Field caused that the defense intensity of Havoc and Wigan never allowed the giants to settle. Winning to Warriors’ victory after a week on the way.

All in all, some stories appear:

• Hull Kr -a Win over Saints signals that the real candidates are this year
• Leeds’s attack is a major concern after not scoring a hit
• Wakefield deserved victory over Warrington could be a turning point
• Wigan looks like a team that will beat with its dazzling offensive form

What did we learn from the fourth round?

Although the conversation is working on the ground, there are things that happen outside it that can always affect team performance.

It must be said that Salford’s head coach Paul Rowley did an outstanding job to achieve his side to be competitive. The week began with doubts that would even play because of the permanent saga with their finances, so they will perform them and show some signs in the attack, they will only help them when things finally collapse and they look to get their first points on the board.

For his opposite main coach, Danny McGuire, that was exactly what he needed. The Tigers were close to the amazing Hull Kr -ai in the first round since then, they continued to grind, finally getting victory. It will be a great increase in their confidence. McGuire got what he needed. He also discovered a star in Judah Rimba – he will be massive for CAS 2025.

Talk about poetic justice! What a sweet victory she was returning to his old Warrington club and winning a huge victory. When he was the main coach of Wolves, Wakefield’s loss saw him lose his job, and now his Wakefield side has once again shown that he would not withdraw to anyone.

I don’t worry about Warrington, but these are now two on a bounce. The Challenge Cup will be nice to distract from the league before they face the Saints in another difficult game.
