Hull KR aim for more while triumph brings hope for all Super League teams

Unpredictability and fresher feel has been apparent in Super League and whets the appetite for England's home Tests against Australia

For the first time in two decades Super League woke up on Sunday morning with a name other than Wigan Warriors, St Helens or Leeds Rhinos as its champions. Hull KR are the first new winners of the competition since 2004, and only the fifth in history to be crowned at all.

For the Robins, this is a watershed moment. Without a major trophy in 40 years before this season, they have now completed an historic treble in 2025 and are arguably Super League's premier club side. But for the wider competition as a whole, their success could not have come at a better time.
