Hull KR head into the play-offs as defending champions, but if they are to go back-to-back, they will have to make history by becoming the first team ever to win the Super League title from sixth place. It has been a season of highs and lows for the Robins. Their World Club Challenge triumph was followed by a heavy defeat in Las Vegas, while inconsistency throughout the campaign saw them sneak into the play-offs in the final available spot.

That means they face a trip to Warrington Wolves before a potential clash with Challenge Cup and League Leaders' Shield winners Wigan Warriors as they look to secure a place in the Grand Final.

"It is a tough ask, but one Hull KR head coach Willie Peters is preparing his side for as he looks to extend his farewell to the club before returning to Australia to take charge of the new NRL franchise, the PNG Chiefs." Peters has opted to rest the majority of his senior squad twice in the past three weeks and knows they will have to step it up when they return if they are to taste Super League glory once again, starting with a tough contest against the Wolves.

"We are not happy just to bow out this week or the week after. It's about playing at Old Trafford again and creating more memories. That's what it's about," Peters told Sky Sports. Warrington's Ben Currie added: "We see a lot of the media things and Warrington are probably not mentioned or our players are probably not mentioned and we love it that way."

Wigan Warriors, Challenge Cup winners, await a potential Grand Final at Old Trafford with 3 crucial play-off matches determining the champion.
