The Robins have been rocking all year, and Hull KR completed a historic treble this campaign.

Willie Peters’ side lifted the Betfred Challenge Cup for the first time since 1980 when Tom Davies’ dramatic late try sealed a gripping Wembley showdown with Warrington in June.

Three months later the Robins added the League Leaders’ Shield to the cabinet, overcoming two late season stumbles against Leeds and Wakefield to seal top spot in another close win over the Wolves.

That also ended a long wait for that particular accolade - Hull KR hadn’t finished top of the pile since 1985 - and continued the impressive ascent under Australian boss Peters.

They then added a terrific Grand Final triumph against Wigan Warriors and completed a magnificent treble for the Red and White Army, becoming only the fifth team to ever lift the Super League trophy.

The Robins started the campaign with nine straight wins, keeping the opposition attack try less on four of those occasions in an early indication of the rock solid defence that the team’s success would be built on.

By the end of the league season, they had conceded an average of fewer than 11 points a game across 27 rounds, and recorded six complete shut-outs in total.

They went top for the first time after their round two win over Wakefield Trinity and never relinquished their grip on first place.

After an April home loss to Wigan, Peters’ side put together an 11 match unbeaten streak that included the Wembley win, leaving them clear at the top of the pack.

An although there was a July blip with back-to-back losses to Leeds and Leigh, a crucial 10-6 win at Wigan in August put them on track to seal first past the post.

Peters had key figures right throughout a side that rarely changed significantly from week to week.

Mikey Lewis and Tyrone May steered the side from half-back with the relentless Jez Litten one of the stars of the competition at hooker.

Elsewhere in the pack, Sauaso Sue, Dean Hadley, Jai Whitbread, Elliot Minchella and Sam Luckley were among a host of consistent performers, while out wide Davies and Joe Burgess were just behind Lewis in the try scoring stakes and the versatile Jack Broadbent also chipped in regularly.

At full-back, French international Arthur Morgue proved a shrewd mid-season capture from Catalans and centre Peta Hiku was one of four Dream Team members alongside Litten, Lewis and Hadley.

Veteran pack duo Jared Warea-Hargreaves and Michael McIlorum - both in their final seasons before retirement - missed chunks of the season with injury but provided experience and aggression whenever they were on the field.

It made for a potent formula.

This group of players and coaches will go down in history forever with what they have achieved.

Key Man

Robins skipper, Elliot Minchella, topped the tackle count and made more metres than any other forward in another committed campaign.

Rising Star

The former Wakefield junior, Noah Booth, looked an accomplished three-quarter every time he stepped into the side and should have a bright future.

Season Highlight

There are too many moments to name, but Tom Davies’ fingertip touchdown of Tyrone May’s kick and Mikey Lewis’ nerveless ensuing conversion which sealed the Betfred Challenge Cup Final at Wembley is a stand-out.
