Hull KR are crowned 2025 Betfred Super League Champions

Hull KR have been crowned 2025 Betfred Super League champions after a breath-taking performance against Wigan Warriors.

For the first time in 21 years, there is a brand-new name on the Super League trophy, as the Robins join the likes of Bradford Bulls, Leeds Rhinos, St Helens and tonight’s opponents Wigan as the only teams to have ever won a Grand Final.

They are the first new winners since the Rhinos in 2004.

The Robins delivered on the big stage on Saturday Night to complete a historic club treble after picking up the Challenge Cup and League Leaders’ Shield earlier on in the year.

A blistering battle unfolded, but Hull KR always had control.

The 28th Super League Grand Final was watched on by a bumper crowd of 68,853 – the highest attendance for a Grand Final since 2017 and beating last year’s attendance of 68,173.

The atmosphere was truly electric as the noise of the Rugby League fans sounded around Old Trafford, with Hull KR and Wigan Warriors meeting in the season finale for a second year running.

The first forty went the way of Willie Peters’ side, with magic Mikey Lewis and Joe Burgess touching down for the Robins.

The Warriors had two opportunities go begging, including an early try from Bevan French disallowed, as he was unable to ground the ball properly.

Two quickfire Robins tries then followed, as magic Mikey Lewis produced a piece of individual brilliance to break through the Warriors defence and score, before playing a pivotal role in the build-up to Joe Burgess’ try.

Burgess, against his former club, went flying over in the corner to put his side 10-0 up at the break.

The second half took a swift turn in the early stages as Wigan came out firing.

Following an injection of pace, Jai Field broke free and had Harry Smith in support who slid over to close the gap for Wigan.

This feeling was to be short-lived, however, as Jez Litten hit back after starting and finishing some lovely play.

With the clock running down, an under-performing Warriors were unable to capitalise, and Burgess intercepted a pass to race away for a memorable match-winner in front of the travelling Robins fans.

History was rewritten in Saturday’s Grand Final, with Hull KR emotional victors at the Theatre of Dreams.

In doing so, they denied Wigan the chance of a three-peat.
