With the sport on a roll from trip across the Atlantic, Hull FC and Leigh kept up the momentum with a 22-22 draw

It was not quite a case of after the Lord Mayor’s show here but following the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas – and what could happen next – Super League returned to the weekly hustle and bustle in the heartlands here in Hull.

These are ever-changing times for the competition: on and off the field. Off it, there are serious murmurings growing of the NRL potentially purchasing Super League to revolutionise the competition’s fortunes, with executives from both leagues meeting in Vegas last week to discuss a deal.
