Hull FC made it back-to-back wins as they withstood a strong Catalans Dragons fightback at the MKM Stadium.
The Black and Whites beat Leeds Rhinos last week to end a run of three consecutive defeats, and dominated the first half against an inconsistent Dragons side who dramatically beat reigning world champions Hull Kingston Rovers in their previous outing.
The French side suffered a string of injuries in racking up that impressive win in Perpignan, and lost Alrix Da Costa and Benjamin Garcia in the opening 15 minutes of this match.
Arthur Romano, Lewis Martin, Logan Moy and Sam Lisone took advantage of poor Dragons defence to score first-half tries, but Leo Darrelatour scored twice to add to tries from Lenny Marc and Charlie Staines and make it a nervy finish for the home support.
