Hull KR's breezy, free-flowing victory over Leigh in last weekend's eliminator means the moment for centre Shaun Kenny-Dowall to hang up his boots hasn't quite arrived yet. The result was a significant one not just because it puts Rovers in contention for the Super League Trophy, but because of the galvanising effect it could have on this group.
Willie Peters' men were defeated by the same opponents in the Challenge Cup final earlier this season – en route to which they beat Wigan – and they could easily have allowed that to get in their heads. Instead, the dream of a maiden Grand Final appearance and the club's first piece of serious silverware since 1985 is back on.
But to turn it into a reality, they're going to have to find a way past the top side in the Super League. Wigan had to win nine games on the bounce to stand a chance of lifting the hubcap and they did exactly that, coming out on top of a three-way tie with Catalans and St Helens on points difference. The concern now for Matt Peet is maintaining those standards after a couple of weeks off.
Catalans Dragons await in the final after seeing off reigning champions St Helens last night. If you're a keen rugby league fan, you'll want to know how to watch Wigan vs Hull KR, and we've got all the information on the Super League semi-final below.
