Betfred Super League Grand Final

Wigan (7) 9

Try: French Goal: Keighran 2 Drop-goal: Smith

Hull KR (0) 2

Goal: Lewis

Wigan became the first side in the Super League era to win all four trophies in a single season as they beat Hull KR in a tight Grand Final at Old Trafford.

Matt Peet’s side triumphed under the lights to complete the set of World Club Challenge, Challenge Cup, League Leaders’ Shield and Grand Final in 2024 – but they were made to work for it.

After a nervy opening 20 minutes, a moment of magic from Bevan French put Wigan ahead and Harry Smith’s drop-goal on the verge of half-time extended their lead.

Mikey Lewis slotted over a penalty off the right-hand post to get Hull KR on the scoreboard but Adam Keighran’s kick ensured Wigan would write themselves into the history books.

Victory for Wigan means they repeat the feat their 1994 squad achieved in winning every major honour over the course of a single campaign.

Bradford in 2003 and St Helens in 2006 both won all four trophies – albeit over the course of two seasons – but Peet’s side have forced their way into the conversation of which side is the best in the modern era courtesy of neat defence in a tight second half against the Robins.
