    And just like that, the party is over and the clean-up begins as the crowds disperse and the players continue their celebrations long into the night.

    And with that, it's also goodbye from us.

    There will be more reaction to this weekend's achievement on BBC Radio Humberside tomorrow with Kofi Smiles at Breakfast and more on Look North.

    It's fair to say fans here in Queen Victoria Square have had a great day.

    Angela Hamlett-Orme, 82, has travelled from Chester.

    She says: "I've absolutely loved it. I've been crying. It's amazing."

    Sam Wright, 46, adds: "Absolutely buzzing. I can't believe my kids have seen them win the treble.

    "I've been coming over 40 years now with my dad. I remember standing on Marfleet Lane on my dad's shoulders when they won in 1985!"

    Jessica, 14, came with her mum, Tina Cairn, 48. They are clutching a giant silver balloon in the shape of a trophy.

    Jessica says: "It's wild. I never would have thought they'd win the treble. I never thought I would experience something like this."

    Rich McKinder, 39, was with his daughter, Lily, 11. She has supported KR her whole life.

    "I knew they could do it," says Lily.

    What a season. They haven't been great in the past six weeks, which I think has got a lot to do with that league lead, but they got that out the way. This team has changed overnight to a refreshed team; a team with energy, a team with less pressure on its shoulders and they've just shown that they're the best team in the league.

  7. Winning treble is 'bonkers'published at 17:44 BST 12 October

    Hull KR captain Elliot Minchella describes winning the treble as “bonkers”.

    "I've been here for six years and the turnaround in that time has been astronomical, so I'm just so proud."

    Centre Oliver Gildart says he can't believe it.

    "We never make it easy but we learnt from our mistakes early on, had a bit of reset early on in the first half and we just kicked on from there.”

    Prop Sam Luckley says the team has been building towards this moment for the past three years.

    "I can't put the feeling into words, I feel like this has been building for three years when the culture and the change in the club started to happen.

    "We're a real strong group, we've got a strong bond, a strong connection and when we take to the field every time we believe we can win and that was no different for the final."

    Speaking to BBC5 Live after the game, Hull KR head coach Willie Peters said they had to fight ‘tooth and nail’:

    "We knew that Wigan were going to come back, they're a champion team so we had to fight but there's a lot of fight in our team.

    "I'm so proud of the staff and everyone involved."
