Hull Kingston Rovers secured their spot in the Super League play-offs with a commanding 36-6 victory over Huddersfield Giants. The reigning champions had lost their previous three matches, but they bounced back strongly by reintroducing key players who had been rested after a heavy defeat to Wigan Warriors. This win also marked head coach Willie Peters' final home game before he moves to take charge of the PNG Chiefs in the National Rugby League (NRL). In the early stages of the match, Hull KR's captain Elliot Minchella, along with Arthur Mourgue and Jack Broadbent, scored tries to put their team in control. Huddersfield managed to respond with a try from Tanguy Zenon, but Hull KR quickly regained their lead with tries from Jez Litten, Mourgue, and Tom Davies. The win, combined with a defeat for St Helens, ensured Hull KR's continued push for a play-off spot. Peters, who led the team to a domestic treble and a World Club Challenge victory last season, said goodbye to his home fans, acknowledging that a top-four finish is now unlikely. Despite an inconsistent season, the team showed championship form by scoring three tries in eight minutes. Key moments included Minchella's powerful finish, Mourgue's sidestep past two defenders, and Broadbent's try after a pass from Peta Hiku. Rhyse Martin, who also made his final home appearance before joining Peters in PNG, kicked a penalty and assisted Litten in scoring an opportunistic try that extended the lead to 20 points. Minchella set up Mourgue for his second try of the night, and Davies' corner finish sealed the victory. The match featured several key players on both sides, with Hull KR's lineup including Broadbent, Davies, Hiku, and others, while Huddersfield's team included players like Evalds and Gagai. The referee for the match was Marcus Griffiths.
