Warrington Wolves v Hull KR live in Super League play-offs with team news and build-up

LIVE EVENT ENDEDLast updated 19th September 2026

Hull KR begin their bid to defend their Super League title after finishing sixth in the regular season, with a trip to Warrington Wolves in the play-off eliminators.

Both Willie Peters and Sam Burgess opted to rest their star players for their respective final regular-season fixtures against St Helens and Toulouse Olympique.

That saw half-back Mikey Lewis return from his two-match suspension to face the Saints, with the England international hoping to inspire his side to the semi-finals with victory at the Halliwell Jones Stadium.

Warrington, meanwhile, finished third after missing out on the play-offs entirely 12 months ago.
