Six things we learned from Super League round four.

1: Wakefield Trinity Wildcats need to play from the first whistle, not when the opposition are out of sight. Impressive fightbacks in their last two games have produced no competition points.

2: New coach James Webster has a big job on his hands. The problem at Hull KR isn’t coaching, it is a thin squad who - at the moment - can’t compete at the top level.

3: If Danny Brough stays fit, Huddersfield Giants won’t be bottom of the table for long. His return sparked a much-improved performance in their narrow defeat at Leeds.

4: Hull have to start beating the leading teams. Successive home losses to Castleford Tigers and Wigan Warriors don’t bode well in the chase for a top-four spot.

5: Ryan Hampshire’s long wait for his Castleford debut could be coming to an end. An injury to Ben Roberts is likely to give the on-loan Wigan man his chance at last.

6: Leeds Rhinos seem to have used up all their good fortune last season. They battled hard for their first win, against Huddersfield, but picked up two more injuries.
