Overview
- The Robins overpowered Wigan at Old Trafford to add the Grand Final to their Challenge Cup and League Leaders' Shield for a season sweep.
- Mikey Lewis opened the scoring and won the Rob Burrow Player of the Match, while Joe Burgess scored twice, sealing it with a late interception.
- A turning point came when Wigan hooker Brad O’Neill was sin-binned for a dangerous tip tackle on Tyrone May, with Hull KR posting two tries during the advantage.
- Jez Litten’s second-half try and Rhyse Martin’s kicking kept Wigan at arm’s length after Harry Smith had briefly reduced the deficit.
- The win made Hull KR only the fifth club to lift the Super League Grand Final, denied Wigan a three-peat and marked Matt Peet’s first final loss; the 68,853 crowd and a 455,000 average TV audience (530,000 peak) underscored the occasion, and Willie Peters said Michael McIlorum played through a fractured ankle as Hull KR booked a World Club Challenge spot.
