MITCH FITS ROVERS

- BY TREVOR BAXTER

Hull KR 22 London Broncos 12

SUPER-TRIM prop Mitch Garbutt plundered two tries as Hull KR produced a stirring second-half performanc­e to claim another home win.

Australian prop Garbutt, who won two Super League Grand Finals with Leeds Rhinos, touched down twice after London led 6-4 at the break thanks to Matty Gee’s touchdown and Kieran Dixon’s goal. But Craig Hall (right) also crossed the Broncos’ try-line and kicked two conversion­s in the impressive fightback.

“Mitch is coming on and making a difference,” said

Rovers’ coach Tim Sheens.

“His carries are great, he’s got good feet and he’s clever with the ball. We set him some targets on body fat and he’s achieved those.

“He still wants to lose a bit more but he is a different shape to what he has been the last couple of years.”
