Hull KR have completed one of the GREAT rugby league stories by winning tonight's Super League Grand Final.

It was only five years ago that they finished bottom of Britain's top-flight competition. Four years earlier, they had been relegated.

At Old Trafford tonight, they stopped one of Super League's most successful clubs in Wigan from making it a hat-trick of Grand Final wins.

In doing so, they have become only the fifth team Super League's three-decade history to win the title.

Before tonight, there hadn't been a new winner in this competition for 21 years.

Everone associated with the Robins will celebrate this victory long and hard!

But from us, this is as far as we go. Goodnight.

BBC Radio 5 Live

Hull KR captain Elliot Minchella speaking to BBC Radio Five Live:

"I don't think we started the game great, it was pretty nervous and we were over-trying. The big stage can make you do that, and we dodged two bullets.

"If they scored the two tries, then the game looks pretty different - so we were probably lucky in those 20 minutes. But after that we found our groove and settled down.

"We've got some experienced boys and we sort of pulled the game by the scruff of the neck and thankfully got home before it got out of hand.

"The club got relegated nine years ago and we've just won a treble. Bonkers.

"Credit goes to the people at the top of the club who have stuck by it through thick and thin. They could have easily just walked away and said this is someone else's job, but they did the complete opposite.

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

And while we are talking about that Ashes series...

Salford Red Devils head coach Paul Rowley told BBC Radio 5 Live that Hull KR half-back must be in the England reckoning for the forthcoming Ashes Test series against Australia after his man-of-the-match display:

"Mikey Lewis is shouting from the rooftops 'pick me', or 'don't pick me if you dare'," said Rowley.

"He's saying he can do it, he's a big player and he's doing it on the big stage.

"He was deservedly man of the match, he was fantastic.

"Mikey Lewis has got to be in there somewhere, but it's hard to squeeze all these good players in - there are only a few positions for quite a few players."

Now the the Super League and NRL seasons are won and done in opposite hemispheres, it's time for international rugby league to take centre stage.

And this year, it's a seismic showdown in the making between England and Australia.

It will be the first time since 2003 the Kangaroos have travelled to play in an Ashes series - with the previous incarnation a contest between Australia and Great Britain.

The three-Test Ashes series starts under the Wembley arch in London on 25 October.

After that, it's onto Everton's Hill Dickinson Stadium on 1 November and at AMT Headingley on 8 November.

All three matches are 14:30 kick-offs and will be live on BBC One.

Wigan Warriors head coach Matt Peet speaking to BBC Radio Five Live: "I'm proud of the team, Hull KR deserve to win and the night belongs to them. Sometimes I think these things are written in the stars and this season belongs to them. They've worked so hard as a club, as a playing group, the coaching staff. There are things that we'll look back and rue but it's different tonight when your're in the moment.

"We missed a few opportunities early on and I did wonder if that would come back to bite us but I love my team, proud of them and Hull KR deserve all their success.

"I'm sad for the supporters, I'm sad for the players but ultimately I couldn't ask anymore from them.

Hull KR centre Oliver Gildart speaking to BBC Radio Five Live: "I can't believe it. I didn't think it'd go like that to be honest.

"Wigan have set the benchmark for a number of years now, I know what they're like in big games, I've played for the club, they're robotlike but I thought we were just too good tonight.

"A lot of people were saying we're tired but if that's tired then I won't like to see us fit.

"The boys were awesome, we didn't stop for the full 80 minutes. Wigan are a great side but the couldn't live with us tonight.

"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.

Hull Kingston Rovers will celebrate their Super League Grand Final victory with a bus parade through Hull.

I would like to say that was planned.

BBC Radio 5 Live

Hull KR prop Sam Luckley speaking to BBC Radio Five Live: "It was nail biting, I think that was the slowest clock in the world towards the end.

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

"They say it takes to lose a final to win one and I truly feel that. We had a different feel coming into this one than we did in the Challenge Cup and it was almost good enough to get here last time but we knew we didn't make a big meal of it coming in this week. We just dug our heels in and performed.

"We're a real strong group, we've got a strong bond, a strong connection and when we took the the field every time we believe we can win and that was no different for the final. You play the game not the occasion, just because you're in a bigger stadium with more fans your principles shouldn't change.

Hull KR had numbers in the frame everywhere they went, they looked hungrier and I think deep down that's what will hurt Matty [Peet].

The plays and the detail was way off from Wigan and obviously the errors but I think their effort and hunger in the areas that Matty will have wanted and Wigan as a club demand is what will have let them down more.

Incredible, what a season from Hull KR.

Coming into this game what a season, to get the trophies they've got over the line but coming here on the back of adversity, 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 over night to a refreshed team, a team with energy, a team with less pressure on it's shoulders and they've just shown tonight that they're the best team in the league.

Hull KR owner Neil Hudgell gets in the middle of the Robins celebrations now.

He is handed the Super League trophy, and the cheers echo around this emptying Old Trafford stadium as he holds it aloft.

He has been a central figure in turning the Robins into the treble winners they are today.

Former Wales head coach on BBC Radio 5 Live

What a fantastic performance from Hull KR. This has been a season-long job but you've got to finish it off with a great performance when it matters and when it matters is a Grand Final and my word have they come up with that performance.

Defensively outstanding, defensively they put Wigan under the pump time after time, after time, defensively they forced errors and then with ball in hand their kicking game was immaculate but when they got the opportunity they took those opportunities and came away with four tries.

What a performance and deserved winners.

Mikey Lewis couldn't contain his tears when he spoke to the Sky Sports' pitchside reporter after full-time.

He is bursting with pride after his man-of-the-match performance helps Hull KR complete this trophy treble.

His stunning performance has, of coruse, earned him the Rob Burrow Award.
