England winger Josh Charnley's treble took his tally of Super League tries to 211| Hull FC (6) 16 |

Prolific winger Josh Charnley ran in his first Leigh Leopards hat-trick as the promoted Super League side won for the third time in six games in 2023.
Charnley scored two first-half tries to help earn a 16-6 interval lead.
But, although Hull rallied in the second half from 22-6 down to score two of their three tries, Ben Reynolds' penalty - his fourth successful kick - closed the door on the hosts.
After starting well, Tony Smith's Hull have now suffered four straight losses.
Who's next?
Leigh - and their clutch of Wigan old boys - face a home local derby against the Warriors on Thursday.
Hull face a tough one next Sunday with a trip to Daryl Powell's 100% Warrington.
