The result continues Hull KR's impressive 2025 campaign so far and pads out their lead at the Super League summit with second-placed Wigan Warriors not playing until facing Catalans on on the other hand, struggled to mount a response once KR edged into the lead on what turned out to be a comfortable night for their opponents, who have lost just once in league and cup this opener came after Rodrick Tai failed to pick him up but Warrington made amends four minutes later when Ben Currie sent Russell slender lead, courtesy of Josh Thewlis' kick, did not last for long as the hosts failed to deal with Jez Litten's offload leaving May to send a lofted ball to Davies to cross over. Lewis, on his 100th Super League appearance, scored his 10th try of the season having shook off a tackle to twist and turn over for Hull KR's third of the score game after video referee Ben Thaler judged that he had not moved in to touch during his acrobatic dash to the try came thanks to a crossfield move from KR which carved Warrington open - firstly Peta Hiku exchanged passes with Arthur Mourgue, with Hiku then sending May through for an emphatic however, Thewlis dotted down just moments later and converted his own try to cut the visitors' lead to 12 points, but Davies' dive to the corner and Lewis' cheeky drop-goal wrapped up the Burgess' side will face Hull KR again in the Challenge Cup final in just over two weeks' time and will hope that his side can put a dent in what is shaping up to be an impressive campaign for the Robins.

Hull KR tame Dragons and book Wembley date in push to end 40-year drought
Hull KR booked their place in next month's Challenge Cup final courtesy of a comfortable victory over Catalans Dragons to once again move to within one game of a first trophy in 40 years. Rovers have been waiting since 1985 to lift a piece of silverware but have fallen agonisingly short twice in recent seasons, losing the 2023 cup final and last year's Super League Grand Final. However, they are undoubtedly now one of the sport's leading sides, underlined by this victory. Few could argue they did not deserve their place at Wembley. Inspired by the reigning Man of Steel, Mikey Lewis, yet again, Rovers had far too much for a Catalans side that could have little complaint about the outcome. Advertisement Catalans trailed by four points after a compelling opening 40 minutes and even led at one stage when tries from Reimis Smith and Luke Keary made it 12-10 in their favour. But Rovers, who had scored twice through James Batchelor, then went ahead when Lewis finished a wonderful team move. He would convert and then add a penalty shortly after the restart to make it 18-12. But even at that early stage, Catalans appeared to be struggling in the heat and how Hull KR made them pay. The Dragons offered little to suggest there could be any sort of comeback and when Jack Broadbent cut through with 20 minutes to go to open up a 12-point lead, the semi-final felt a long way towards being decided. That was then emphasised when Broadbent scored his second after a fine break from Joe Burgess. With six minutes remaining, Burgess put the seal on another landmark day for the Robins as he scored their sixth.
