Hull KR stun Wigan to claim Grand Final glory and historic treble

Hull Kingston Rovers completed a fairytale season by beating Wigan Warriors 24–6 at Old Trafford to win their first Super League title since 1984 and secure a remarkable treble.

In a performance brimming with confidence and composure, the Robins capitalised on Wigan’s ill-discipline—particularly Brad O’Neill’s costly yellow card—with Mikey Lewis and Joe Burgess scoring key tries.

Jez Litten and Burgess added late scores to seal victory, capping off a season that also saw Hull KR lift the Challenge Cup and League Leaders’ Shield.

While Wigan, the defending champions, struggled to recover from early setbacks, Hull KR’s relentless attack and defensive precision under coach Willie Peters delivered a dominant and history-making triumph for the club.
