IT seems the Wire barmy army really did turn out in force from home on Saturday.
Viewing figures released by Super League have shown the 40-10 victory over Hull Kingston Rovers - played behind closed doors on neutral ground at Headingley - achieved the highest ever average audience for a Saturday broadcast of Super League.
🐺 Cheering on the boys from home 👏

The figures exclude broadcasts of Magic Weekend and play-off fixtures, but an impressive stat nonetheless.
