Hull KR miss out on Super League title after defeat to Wigan

Hull KR have missed out on the Super League title after defeat to Wigan in the Grand Final at Old Trafford.

Rovers were aiming to win the iconic rugby league trophy for the first time, but Warriors secured an historic win.

It's been an incredible season for the Robins, with their vocal fan base turning Craven Park into something of a fortress, helping their side to a second-place finish in the table behind the Warriors.

Rovers, targeting their first domestic title in four decades, were far from over-awed in their first Grand Final appearance, but failed to take their chances to crack a resolute Wigan defence and had only a Mikey Lewis penalty to show for their efforts.

Willie Peters' side, who had earned their chance the hard way after edging third-placed Warrington in last week's nerve-jangling semi-final, threatened the champions' line throughout but lacked the magic touch of Wigan's irrepressible number six, who ended the night as the first recipient of the newly-named Rob Burrow man-of-the-match award.
