Hull KR head trainer Willie Peters moved the emphasis directly to following week’s Betfred Super League Grand Final after his side held Warrington away to secure their location in the season-ending masterpiece for the very first time in their background.
Wire clawed back a 10-0 first-half deficiency with 2 Matty Ashton attempts ahead within inches of nabbing success and contributing to Rovers’ large suit misery with memories of in 2015’s heartbreaking Challenge Cup last loss to Leigh still fresh in the memory.
And while the last hooter secured a 10-8 win that saw a rise of feeling at sold-out Craven Park, Peters feared to preserve that the work stays incomplete with focus instantly relocating to following week’s last versus either protecting champs Wigan or Leigh.

Peters claimed: “The job’s not done at all. We’ll enjoy that, because you’ve got to enjoy being in a Grand Final and all that comes with Grand Final week, but there’s one game to go and we’re going out to win that title.
“We’re not going there to enjoy the surroundings and the history of Old Trafford. It’s a special place to play and the players are rightly really proud of each other, but we’ve got a game, just like we had tonight, to go and win.”
Peters confessed he delighted in little of a tension-filled experience which was cleared up in the passing away secs when Matt Dufty might have seized it for Warrington, just for his initiative to be eliminated for a relatively apparent domino effect.
“Now I can reflect on how far this club has come from well before my time,” included Peters, that changed Tony Smith at the end of a 2022 project in which Rovers completed a lowly 8th and offered couple of indications of their unavoidable rise right into big-match opinion.
“I’m really proud of all the players and staff because it’s been a lot of hard work to get here and the players worked extremely hard to hang onto that lead.”
Warrington head trainer Sam Burgess was aggrieved by the nature of Rovers’ 2nd shot, when his name Joe Burgess stacked over right before half-time, in a melee that was sent out up to the video clip umpire as a shot and appropriately granted.
Burgess examined making use of the on-field choice– which can just be rescinded on clear proof– and urged the evaluation had no other way to rescind the shot, such was the nature of the shuffle.
Hold your heads high, boys– you offered every little thing for the t-shirt this year and we could not be prouder

“I don’t know how he (the referee) can send it up as a try when he doesn’t know,” claimedBurgess “He had 10 looks at it but once it is sent up as a try, how do you overturn it?
“We’re all fans of the game and we all want to see a fair contest. I don’t know how you can leave it to the technology. If you can’t make a decision, you can’t make a decision – it’s too big.
“(But) it was soft, so we don’t deserve to be in the Grand Final. It’s not Premiership-winning stuff, and that’s the end of the story really. It’s not going to win us the comp so we’ve got to fix that up.”
