Premier League: Huddersfield Giants 6-32 Hull KR-Robins secure first league win of 2026

Last year’s treble winner added to the Club World title this season with a win over the Brisbane Broncos last month, but that snapped back-to-back league defeats.

A shock loss to newcomers York Knights and a 58-6 defeat to Leeds Rhinos in Las Vegas left them playing catch-up in the Premier League and they started this game, bottom of the table and already eight points behind leaders Wigan Warriors.

But Geldart’s effort inside three minutes saw them go at the Accu Stadium. Jez Litten dropped the ball with a begging attempt, but soon after, winger Davies finished smartly in the corner.

Huddersfield finished 10th last year but started this season on a ten-game losing streak and this season has started on the wrong foot too.

This was evident in the handling errors inside their own half, which handed the ball over to their opponents and from Tyrone May’s misplaced pass, Burgess slotted home.

Lewis scored the try of the match shortly after the second half with a remarkable individual effort as he danced and weaved his way after picking up the ball inside Huddersfield’s half.

The Giants eventually got on the scoreboard when Flanagan brilliantly headed Twi Loluhia’s high kick home, but it came at a cost as the full-back, who scored five of his side’s eight Premiership tries in 2026, injured himself on the landing.

It was only a temporary stumble for the Robins as Davies finished off a brilliant control move and Lewis made a final effort, racing on his way.

But with the Premier League on pause for a week, these two teams will resume action next Saturday as they meet again at the same ground in the Round of 16 of the Challenge Cup.
