Hull Kingston Rovers have completed one of the greatest comeback stories in rugby league history, defeating Wigan Warriors to claim the 2025 Super League Grand Final - and with it, a historic domestic treble.
Their emphatic 24-6 victory at Old Trafford capped a fairytale season for Willie Peters’ side, who had already lifted the Challenge Cup and League Leaders’ Shield.
It marks the first treble in the club’s history and firmly cements their place among the Super League elite.
Just nine years ago, Hull KR were reeling from relegation in 2016.
But under a succession of smart rebuilds and a new identity forged under Peters, the Robins have risen from despair to dominance.
Willie Peters was full of pride and emotion after the win.
“I just said out there, Mikey Lewis has arrived.
"What I meant by that was in big moments, and it doesn’t get bigger than a Grand Final.
"He owned that first half … I’m so proud of him.”
Lewis, a former Man of Steel and a nominee for this year's award, topped the evening by being awarded the Rob Burrow Award - The Grand Final Man of the Match award, named after the former Leeds Player.

Peters also reflected on the club’s longer journey: “It started a long time ago … we spoke about what happened last year and why Wigan won.
"Tonight was on the flip side.”
On the Wigan side, coach Matt Peet accepted Hull KR took their chances better: “Credit to the pressure that Hull KR were putting on us defensively.
"All the credit goes to them tonight; the night belongs to them.”
He was also sympathetic about mistakes: “To get ourselves back in the game then we had to look after the ball a tad better and we failed to do so.
"I remain proud of my players."
The Grand Final itself showcased everything Hull KR have become: resilient, disciplined, ruthless when it mattered.
They led 10-2 at half-time, before taking control in the second half with tries from the likes of Jez Litten and Joe Burgess, as Wigan pushed but could not break their resolve.
For the fans who endured relegation, near-misses, and heartbreak, this was a night of catharsis.
Hull KR are only the fifth club in history to complete the treble, joining Bradford Bulls, St Helens, Leeds Rhinos, and Wigan themselves.
From the depths of 2016 to the heights of 2025, Hull KR’s rise is a story of belief rewarded - a reminder that in rugby league, persistence can build dynasties.
As “Red, Red Robin” rang around Old Trafford, this wasn’t just victory; it was vindication.
