Season review[edit]

On 11 February, Hull Kingston Rovers began their Super League campaign with losses to Wigan Warriors and Huddersfield Giants.[1][2] The first win came in Round 3 at home to Castleford Tigers.[3] The most successful period of the season came in April with a 34–10 win over Castleford in the quarter-final of the Challenge Cup and a run of four consecutive league wins that placed them in the top half of the table.[4][5] In May, the Challenge Cup campaign came to an end with a 25–4 loss to Huddersfield in the semi-finals.[6] A poor mid-season included a run of three league losses[7] followed by a further run of four defeats culminating with a 34–28 loss to Hull F.C. at the Magic Weekend.[8] Hopes of a play-off place were kept alive in July with back-to-back wins over Wakefield Trinity and Warrington Wolves,[9][10] but a number of losses followed so that, even with a 38–28 win over Wigan in the penultimate round, Hull KR could no longer qualify and their season ended with a 36–4 away over local rivals Hull F.C.[11][12]
