Hull KR clinch historic treble after thrashing champions Wigan in Grand Final
Hull Kingston Rovers completed a historic treble by winning the Super League Grand Final 24-6 over Wigan Warriors, their first Super League title and sixth top-level crown overall.
- On Sunday at Old Trafford, Hull Kingston Rovers beat Wigan Warriors 24-6 to win their first Super League title and complete a treble.
- Earlier this year Hull KR had already won the Challenge Cup and League Leaders' Shield, completing a dramatic turnaround from relegation in the 2016 Million Pound Game and finishing bottom in the 2020 season.
- A turning moment came when Brad O'Neill's sin-binning for a dangerous tackle on Tyrone May gave Hull KR a 10-point lead and decisive advantage.
- Willie Peters earned plaudits as Hull Kingston Rovers enter East Hull folklore, and he now takes on a Kangaroos assistant coach role reflecting his rising profile.
- The achievement is historically rare, as Hull KR's treble is only the fifth in the Super League era and ends a 40-year major-trophy drought for the club.
