In a dramatic match, Matty Ashton scored a hat-trick as Warrington Wolves defeated Hull Kingston Rovers, ending their opponents' Super League title reign in the play-off eliminator. The win takes Warrington through to the semi-finals, where they will face Leeds Rhinos at AMT Headingley on September 25, while Wakefield Trinity will face Wigan Warriors in the other semi-final the following evening.
Warrington were dominant from the start, but only led 12-6 at half-time thanks to goals from Ben Currie and Ashton, while Joe Burgess scored for Hull KR. However, the situation became more difficult for the away team when Peta Hiku was sent off for hitting George Williams. This is a big shock for Hull KR, the team that won all the titles last season.
Entering the second half, Ashton quickly scored the second goal, but Hull KR's Dean Hadley shortened the score. However, Warrington did not allow the opponent a chance to turn the tide, and Ashton continued to score the third goal, increasing the score to 22-10. Albert Hopoate and Toby King also got on the scoresheet, while Williams completed his excellent display with a drop-goal.
The loss marks the end of Hull KR's reign as coach Willie Peters, as he will join new team PNG Chiefs in the NRL next season. This team did not show their best form throughout the season, finishing only eighth on the Super League rankings, 8 points behind Warrington. At times, Hull KR showed signs of the style of play that won them the Super League title last season, but disciplinary errors cost them in this match.
Warrington coach Sam Burgess expressed his pride in what his team did: "We started well and controlled the game in the first half. However, I was disappointed when the score was only 12-6. We created many opportunities but didn't take them well, and need to improve on that in the future."
And Hull KR coach Willie Peters said: "The team fought to the end, but discipline has been a big issue this season. I'm proud of our group of players, but we need to improve to be competitive in bigger matches."
What happens next
Warrington Wolves will face Leeds Rhinos at AMT Headingley on September 25, a crucial match that will decide their place in the Grand Final. Meanwhile, Hull KR will need to reconsider their strategy and performance after this loss, especially when they were not able to maintain the same form as last season. The departure of coach Willie Peters will also create big changes in Hull KR's squad and tactics next season.
