Grand Final 2025 Stats Breakdown

Hull KR defeated Wigan Warriors at Old Trafford on Saturday to become only the fifth club to ever lift the Super League trophy.

It's taken a whopping 21 years for a new winner!

Unlike the previous two Grand Finals, which had been low-scoring affairs, 2025 saw five tries at the Theatre of Dreams, as the Robins went on to secure a memorable 24-6 win.

Mikey Lewis, Joe Burgess and Jez Litten all crossed for Hull KR – and Burgess, who won his first ever Grand Final at the fifth attempt – became the man of the moment with a memorable match-winner.

Wigan’s only try came from their halfback Harry Smith in the early stages of the second half.

Magic Mikey Lewis had a night to remember, as he became the second ever recipient of the Rob Burrow Award, on what was fittingly, his 150th career appearance.

His Player of the Match performance consisted of a try, 122 metres, five tackle busts and important involvement in Burgess’ first score.

Lewis also produced 14 kicks in general play, kicking the former champions to death in this year’s Grand Final.

Playing his brilliant best and shining under the lights of Old Trafford, he was selected as the worthy winner for the individual award.

It was a similar story for plenty of the Hull KR stars – full-back Arthur Mourgue made the most metres with 163 in 20 carries, along with four tackle busts.

Tom Davies, Lewis and Peta Hiku also ran for over 100 metres.

In defence, there were some immense tackle makers – James Batchelor (36), Dean Hadley (48), Jez Litten (31) and captain Elliot Minchella (38) – who all played a significant role in the Robins’ historic win.

Except winger Liam Marshall (113), there were no Wigan players who surpassed 100 metres, as Hull KR restricted them well.

Instead, a lot of tackling was required, with eight Warriors completing over 20 tackles.

Kaide Ellis and Sam Walters made the most tackles with 40 and 41 respectively. Veteran skipper Liam Farrell produced 36, as he featured in an impressive tenth Grand Final appearance.

Dynamic duo Jai Field and Bevan French were kept quieter than usual, although they still made a valiant effort in defeat.

French almost scored the opening try inside the first fifteen minutes but was unable to ground the ball properly, while Field produced some stunning attack before assisting Smith’s try.

Both players were uncharacteristic with their metre-making, however, as Field covered just 85 and French 48. The Wigan superstars then made nine tackle busts combined as they desperately tried to pull it back for their side.

But it wasn’t to be, and the Warriors were unable to seal the three-peat they had hoped for.

Instead, the Robins became the history makers, going on to complete a treble-winning season.

Tyrone May and the retiring Jared Waerea-Hargreaves joined the ranks of players to have won Grand Finals on both sides of the world.

The retiring Michael McIlorum also won his first ever treble as his experience proved vital.

Their contributions did not go unnoticed, as JWH and McIlorum, two servants of the game, bow out.

Burgess avoided joining the ranks of players to suffer most Grand Final losses, with five. After four defeats in his career, he can now say he's finally done it – and with a sensational showing too!

In game, Hull KR dominated the possession with 55%. The Robins’ completion rate was also a strong 90%, while Wigan’s was just 72.

KR completed 30 of their sets, and Wigan completed 24.

Interestingly, it was the Warriors who made more tackle busts with 42, whereas the Robins made 31.

On Saturday, Willie Peters’ men made 36 more carries than Matt Peet’s side. Interestingly, Hull KR made just five more PTBs (Play the Balls) in their opposition’s 20m than Wigan did, highlighting their ability to capitalise.

As expected, the Robins ran 378 more metres, producing that "Hull KR performance" they have often referred to - something which is thoroughly entertaining to watch.

Wigan then had to make 55 more tackles than their opponents (346 in comparison to 291), as Hull KR became too hard and hot to handle and went on to be crowned 2025 champions.
