Hull KR fought back from behind to beat Wakefield and all-but secure their Super League status.

Dixon ran in his second before Shaun Lunt looked to have won it for Hull KR but Lee Smith got his second score to make the final few minutes edgy.
The Robins, hammered 50-0 by Leeds Rhinos in the Challenge Cup final last week, have now won all four of their matches in The Qualifiers.
