Dragons come up short

Hull KR survived a stirring second-half fightback by the Catalans Dragons to secure a vital 22-20 Super League win.

Clint Greenshields' early try put the home side ahead but Justin Morgan's side rocked the Catalans with their response.

Rovers replied to stunning effect with four quick tries.

Scott Morrell's kick set up Mark Lennon for the first and, with Catalans on the back foot, Stanley Gene, Ian Hardman and Mark O'Neill also crossed as Rovers carved out a 16-point half-time lead.

But Catalans regained their composure and came back strongly after the break.

Two Younes Khattabi tries and one by Stacey Jones closed the gap and ensured a nervous finish for Rovers.

But Thomas Bosc's missed conversions turned out to be the difference between the sides as Morgan's relegation-threatened outfit hung on for a win.
