  "account": "Hull KR's aspirations for a top-four finish in Super League were undermined by a surprising defeat to Toulouse. The Robins suffered their second home loss in five days, remaining sixth in the table and potentially facing an away playoff match next month. Mathieu Jussaume scored early for Toulouse, but the French side dominated the second half with tries from Romeo Tropis, Anthony Marion, Paul Ulberg, and Luke Polselli. Hull KR's Elliot Minchella and Louix Gorman managed to score, but the Robins were plagued by errors, conceding unnecessary penalties and facing up to the consequences of a grueling three-game schedule in ten days. Toulouse capitalized on Hull KR's mistakes, opening the scoring through a missed tackle by Jack Broadbent and converting Jussaume's second try after two earlier tackles. The French team sealed the win with tries from Tropis, Ulberg, Polselli, and a late kick by Polselli. Despite Gorman's late run, Hull KR's performance was marred by an error-strewn display.",
