Warrington Wolves ended Hull Kingston Rovers' Super League championship reign with a decisive 35-12 victory in a play-off eliminator. Matty Ashton was the star of the show, bagging a hat-trick of tries for the Wolves.
The match saw Warrington lead 12-6 at half-time, with tries from Ben Currie and Ashton answered by Joe Burgess for the Robins. The task became significantly harder for Hull KR when Peta Hiku was sent off in the 42nd minute for punching George Williams.
Warrington pulled away in the second half, with Ashton completing his hat-trick. Albert Hopoate and Toby King also crossed the try line, and George Williams sealed a strong performance with a late drop-goal. Hull KR coach Willie Peters acknowledged his team's inconsistent season and issues with discipline.
Warrington will now face Leeds Rhinos at AMT Headingley on Friday, 25 September, for a spot in the Grand Final. Wakefield Trinity will play Wigan Warriors in the other semi-final the following evening.
