However it was not a match that totally went to script, a team of Warrington youngsters pushing a full-strength KR all the way.
Late tries from Tyrone May and Arthur Mourgue eventually sealed the history-making moment for the Robins, but only after Sam Burgess’ side showed real signs of life in their final outing of 2025.

Warrington were the first to put points on the board through an early converted Josh Thewlis effort but Hull KR managed to hit back with a try from Tyrone May and double from Noah Booth for a 16-6 lead at the break.
The visitors then hit back and took the lead once again with quickfire tries from Sam Stone, Adam Holroyd and Josh Thewlis, Marc Sneyd converting just one as they went 20-16 ahead.
However, those brilliant converted efforts from Mourgue and May made all the difference, wrapping up the 28-20 victory.
It makes Hull KR the ninth team ever to have won the League Leaders’ Shield, joining Bradford Bulls, Leeds Rhinos, St Helens, Wigan Warriors, Warrington Wolves, Huddersfield Giants, Castleford Tigers and Catalans Dragons.
