Super League round-up: Hull FC win, Leigh see off Red Devils and Wigan thrash Leeds

Hull FC 14-10 Huddersfield Giants

Hull FC ended their regular season campaign with a less than convincing 14-10 win over the Huddersfield Giants at the KCOM Stadium.

It was not the prettiest of wins, but the two points keeps Lee Radford's side in the hunt for a play-off place at the end of the seven-game Super 8s competition.

Leigh Centurions 25-0 Salford Red Devils

Leigh made sure they did not finish bottom of Super League at the end of the regular season as they nilled Challenge Cup semi-finalists Salford at the Sports Village.

Instead it is Widnes who take the wooden spoon after Leigh scored 25 unanswered points on their way to their first ever Super League win over their local rivals.

First-half tries from Gregg McNally, Atelea Vea and Samisoni Langi, all converted by Josh Drinkwater, saw Leigh lead 18-0 at half-time and they completed the job with a second for McNally in the dying moments plus a Drinkwater drop goal.

Wigan Warriors 34-0 Leeds Rhinos

England stand-off George Williams scored two tries to make up for an off day with the boot as Wigan put a weakened Leeds to the sword with a 34-0 victory at the DW Stadium.

No doubt with an eye on next Saturday's Challenge Cup semi-final against Hull, Leeds coach Brian McDermott went into the last match of the regular season before the split for the Super 8s without 15 senior players.

The Rhinos had three debutants, including 17-year-old threequarter Harry Newman, who made history by becoming the first player born this century to play in Super League, and another three players on the bench with just three Super League appearances between them.

Not surprisingly, it was largely men against boys for most of the match as the Warriors eased their way to a much-needed victory that keeps alive their hopes of a top-four finish.

Leeds had little to cheer in a second defeat in seven matches but they are still comfortably in second place going into the Super 8s.
