A last-minute try from Ben Fisher handed Hull KR a 28-24 victory over St Helens on Sunday at Craven Park.

Both sides scored five tries apiece, with Liam Colborn grabbing a hat-trick for the home team.

Saints, who fell to their second defeat of the season, were left to rue three missed conversions from precocious scrum-half Kyle Eastmond.

In Sunday's other fixture, Crusaders were thrashed 46-12 by second-placed Warrington Wolves.

Brian Noble's side, who this week announced the signing of Welsh rugby union legend Gareth Thomas, conceded eight tries to a Warrington outfit level on points with Wigan at the top.

Wakefield had a night to forget on Saturday, as John Kear's side were thrashed 52-0 by Huddersfield.

The Wildcats made an excellent start to the Super League season but came unstuck against St Helens last week.

The narrow loss to Saints did not compare to the mauling at the hands of Hudddersfield, who ran in 10 tries - Scott Grix going over on two occasions and Leroy Cudjoe kicking six goals.

Bradford produced a stunning fightback to claim a 22-20 win over Wigan at the Grattan Stadium.

The Warriors hit Bradford hard at the start of the match and raced into a 20-0 lead at the interval thanks to tries from Pat Richards, Harrison Hansen, Sam Tomkins and Darrell Goulding.

Bradford were much improved in the second half and tries from Brett Kearney and Matt Orford brought them back into the game and Orford went over in the corner with ten minutes remaining to set up a grandstand finish.

Wigan looked like holding on, but Amos Roberts spilled the ball when attempting to run clear; Glenn Hall went over and Orford kicked the extras to clinch the win and end the only unbeaten record in the league.

"It is somethin we need to address," Orford told Sky Sports of Bradford's slow start. "We got off to a poor start and were chasing our tails. We need to learn from it, but credit to the guys they put in a great effort."

Super League champions Leeds Rhinos went try crazy at Headlingley, as they romped to a 62-4 win over Harlequins - Ali Lauitiiti, Tom Bush, Keith Senior, Danny McGuire, Danny Buderus, Ryan Hall, Brent Webb and Kallum Watkins all finding their way on the scoresheet against a hapless Quins.

Catalans Dragons left Salford as the only side without a point in Super League after claiming a 24-12 win over their rivals, while Danny Tickle kicked six goals in Hull FC's 42-22 win over Castleford.
