Hull KR hold off Warrington to secure historic first League Leaders’ Shield

Hull KR 28-20 Warrington

Second leg of possible domestic treble completed

Hull KR confirmed top spot in Super League and a first League Leaders’ Shield with a nerve-shredding victory over Warrington Wolves to complete the second leg of a possible domestic treble.

Willie Peters’ side have been the standout force in the competition this year but they have begun to stutter in recent weeks with the play-offs approaching. That was evident last week when they were well beaten by Wakefield, but they still knew a result of any kind here would be enough to secure first at the expense of Wigan Warriors.
