Warrington 8-0 Hull KR

Oh wow! It was there, Hopoate, just get it!
The kick beat them all. It beat the Hull KR defenders and it beat the Warrington attackers in the end. It takes a horrible googly turn.
Warrington 8-0 Hull KR
Ben Currie needs two Hull KR men to stop him as he threatens to power over the line for a second try.
On the last kick, Ewan Irwin produces a delicate low kick to the corner where the bounce is vicious for everyone on both sides, including Albert Hopoate and he can't ground it for a try.
A bit of a let-off for the Robins.
Warrington 8-0 Hull KR
Dean Hadley goes high on Matty Ashton and that is a Warrington penalty in their own half.
A bit of a momentum killer from a Hull KR perspective.
Warrington 8-0 Hull KR
Another Hull KR challenge.
The Robins think Matty Ashton has his foot in touch.
And Elliot Minchella is right again!

He takes off to try to get the ball down, but two Warrington players in Josh Thewlis and Albert Hopoate are quick to stop him and knock Burgess out of play.
The referee wants a quick TV check.
It looked like Burgess had not got the ball down and that is confirmed.

There was no way Peta Hiku was not going to challenge that.
Warrington 8-0 Hull KR
Peta Hiku is penalised for losing the ball in a tackle with two Warrington players.
The centre is furious and gets captain Elliot Minchella to challenge this.
And he was right to, because the challenge is a successful one.
Warrington 8-0 Hull KR
A set restart for the visitors as they get the chance to gain some momentum.
James Bentley with a big hit on Sauaso Sue on tackle five before Albert Hopoate is pushed back over his own line on the last one.
A goal-line drop-out and Hull KR can come again.

How decisive could that be at the end of this game?
Warrington 8-0 Hull KR
Almost a quarter of a way through the contest and we have seen little of Hull KR as an attacking force.
They complete their set but it ends with Jai Whitbread being tackled and the ball is handed over.
Hull KR have lost four of the past five and struggled for large periods in the summer - it's not always that easy just to click back into gear.

For the Robins fans at the on the far end of the field there's a sense of relief but again it's fine margins.

Oh my word, what a finish!
If he's finished this then this is a worldie, an absolute worldie from Matty Ashton.
Matty Ashton
Matty Ashton, take a bow!
The winger gets the ball about five yards away from the corner, on a standing start, leaps off the ground and touches it down.
The try is given on field, but we are going to check it on the TV.
The replays show his left arm touched the line for out-of-play at the same time as the ball. The call is 'No Try'.
A huge sigh of relief for the 2025 champions.
Warrington 8-0 Hull KR
Joe Burgess partially redeems himself here with a crucial hand in as Warrington try to work the ball wide in search of another score after a super 40:20 kick gets them good field position.
The Robins are on the ropes a bit at the moment.

If Hull KR win will Wakefield play Leeds?
Jason, Wakefield
That's correct, Jason. Hull KR, as the lowest-placed qualifiers, would travel to Wigan if they win tonight.
Ewan Irwin
Some good handling from Ben Currie and George Williams puts Hull KR under the pump in midfield and they win another set of six as a result.
And the Robins concede a penalty further down the field. Warrington signal they are going to go for goal.
It's a second easy kick for Ewan Irwin and he adds two more to the Wolves' tally.
Good play-off rugby to keep the scoreboard ticking.

Well done George Williams. His short-kicking game is renowned all over the world and Ben Currie is there with the freebie.
A brilliant start for Warrington.
Warrington 6-0 Hull KR
Another shocker for Joe Burgess as he spills the ball for a second time.
This time, it's trying to start a quick attack, but it gives Warrington a set of six in the final third.
Ben Currie, goal Ewan Irwin
Image source, SWPix.comAnd the Wolves absolutely take advantage of that field position!
England captain George Williams puts in a little grubber, which Joe Burgess slides along to gather but the ball squirms out of his grasp and Ben Currie gets it down from no more than two yards away.
A stand-out performer in 2026, Currie has come up with a big moment for his side straight away.
Ewan Irwin adds the two from in front of the sticks and it's a brilliant start for Warrington!
