The game had looked set to end in a draw after Hull fought back from 10-0 to level matters, only for Webster to scrape a 77th-minute effort over the bar and seal victory for Justin Morgan's side.

It was ironic that Webster should be the match-winner, after all the pre-match build-up had been focused on the return of his half-back partner Paul Cooke following a suspension issued to him after his controversial move from Hull almost a year ago.

As it was, the man himself kept a low profile for most of a game that was played in horrendous winds and was won by Webster and a try apiece from Jake Webster and Daniel Fitzhenry.

There appeared to be little danger as Hull shifted the ball across their line until Scott Murrell caught Shaun Berrigan blind and ankle-tapped him, causing the latter to spill the ball as he shaped to kick. Jake Webster swooped on the loose ball and raced 35 yards to the line for his sixth try of the season.

Cooke converted from out wide to underline Rovers' early promise, a fact highlighted further when James Webster punted a 40-20 kick moments later.

Rovers extended their lead just shy of the hour mark as Cooke squeezed a pass out to Jake Webster, who in turn fended the ball wide to Fitzhenry and he dived over for his fifth try of the season.

The wind, combined with a swirling rain and sleet shower, contributed to Cooke failing miserably with the conversion, and his miss allowed Hull to roar back and level the scores.

First Tickle crashed in, only to hit the post with his conversion, before Kirk Yeaman took in Adam Dykes' pass to post his second try of the season. The rain began to pour as Tickle converted successfully to pull the scores together, only for Webster to then win the game.
