Leeds Tykes………..49
Hull………………………. 16
LEEDS Tykes maintained their unbeaten start to the season by racking up a near half-century of points in a disjointed win over Hull.
As in previous weeks, Leeds made a quickfire start and sealed a try bonus point within the first 20 minutes.
Ill-discipline allowed their East Riding neighbours back into the match and made the middle 40 minutes scratchy. Nevertheless, Leeds managed to put together some nice attacking moves to cement their relatively unblemished home start.
Early tries came from Tom Williams, and the ever-improving Ben Turpin before Adam Brown and Ewan Laughton crossed to make it maximum points. James Watts added all the necessary extras to continue his fine start to the campaign from the tee.
When the Tykes discipline went awry, Harrison Astley was the main beneficiary, notching three from a possible five penalties. Hull’s only try came from Alex Heard after 59 minutes.
Leeds added three second half tries with Eddie Brown, Turpin and Jack Smith all dotting down. Watts added two conversions before late replacement Seremaia Bai Turagabeci added the final extras.
