Hull KR's Peta Hiku is focused on ending the club's trophy drought as they prepare for the Challenge Cup final against Warrington Wolves at Wembley Stadium.
In 2025, Hull KR has been in exceptional form in the Super League, boasting just one loss in 13 matches, which has positioned them two points clear at the top of the table.
Despite their strong performance, Hiku acknowledges that their success in the league means little without silverware.
The team has not won a trophy since 1985, a fact that weighs heavily on them.
"Once again, they find themselves in the Challenge Cup final too, giving them another golden opportunity to finally put a trophy in their cabinet as they enter the contest as heavy favourites against Warrington Wolves." The recent history for Hull KR includes a heartbreaking defeat in the 2023 Challenge Cup final, where they lost to a last-minute Lachlan Lam drop-goal, followed by a 9-2 loss to Wigan Warriors in the 2024 Super League Grand Final.
Hiku expressed frustration over the long-standing absence of trophies, stating, "the 1985 tag is something that irks the club and is one which he is ready to rectify come 3pm on Saturday." As they approach the final, the team's desire to change their fortunes and establish themselves among the top sides in the competition is palpable.
