Get ready for a thrilling celebration as Hull KR's Super League Grand Final victory parade takes center stage!
A Historic Triumph
Hull KR has achieved an incredible feat, becoming the fifth team in history to win the Super League Grand Final. Their stunning performance against Wigan Warriors at Old Trafford sealed a remarkable treble, a moment that will go down in rugby league history.
The Turning Point
But here's where it gets controversial... Brad O'Neill's yellow card for a tip tackle on Tyrone May proved to be a pivotal moment. While the Cherry and Whites were down a man, Mikey Lewis and Joe Burgess seized the opportunity, running in for crucial tries. This moment shifted the momentum and set the stage for Hull KR's triumph.
A Tale of Two Halves
Wigan fought back, with Harry Smith touching down to narrow the gap. However, Jez Litten's gap-spotting run and Joe Burgess' second try late in the game sealed the deal for Hull KR. It was a thrilling display of skill and determination.
Celebrating the Champions
And this is the part most people miss... the true impact of this victory on the fans. Today, Hull KR supporters will take to the streets, celebrating their team's historic achievement. The players will embark on an open-top bus parade, starting at Sewell Group Craven Park at 3:45 PM BST and making their way through Hull, ending with a grand celebration outside Hull City Hall.
