Hull KR vs Wigan Warriors Prediction

There’s no doubt about it, Hull KR have been unquestionably the best team in Super League this season. Winners of both the Challenge Cup and League Leaders Shield, Willie Peters’ side have raised the bar that no one has matched in 2025. However, the Super League grand final serves as their ultimate challenge as to secure a historic treble, they must overcome reigning champions and quadruple winners Wigan Warriors.

For the Warriors, this isn’t new territory, big finals such as this is par the course for such a big club. After winning it all last season, they remain without silverware in 2025, making this match even more important from their perspective. To win would secure an incredible Super League ‘three-peat’, which only underlines how good they are when the Old Trafford lights are at their brightest.

Expect a low-scoring contest, despite the attacking riches on show across both squads. As brilliant as Hull KR have been over the course of the season, Wigan Warriors have the superior experience and just know how to get things done at all costs when it comes to the Super League grand final. That nous and X-Factor provided by the links of Bevan French and Jai Field makes Wigan worth backing to break Hull KR hearts.
