Catalans Dragons coach Trent Robinson is hoping that his side's hard-fought win over Hull Kingston Rovers will help to kickstart the club's faltering season.

A late Clint Greenshields try followed by a drop goal from Scott Dureau helped the Perpignan outfit claim a 13-10 win - their first victory in three matches.

"We won a tight game," said Robinson. "It was awful weather and I believe it has been like that for a while. We left France where it was 30 degrees and sunshine so as you'd expect, we don't train often in the wet conditions.

"But we were disappointed with the way we handled the ball. Having said that, there were plenty of positives for both sides to take from this game.

"We haven't defended like that for a long time and hopefully that will provide us with the spark we have lacked in recent weeks. There was plenty of energy and we scrambled well with good intent."

The Dragons are third in the Super League table, four points behind leaders Wigan Warriors.
