Super League Grand Final 2025: Predictions and Excitement as Hull KR Faces Wigan Warriors at Old Trafford
The Super League Grand Final 2025 is just around the corner, and fans are buzzing with excitement as Hull KR gets ready to take on Wigan Warriors at the iconic Old Trafford stadium. This clash is a repeat of last year’s final, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. We reached out to some Sky Sports Rugby League pundits to see who they think will take home the trophy and why.
Jon Wilkin’s Take on the Final
Jon Wilkin believes Wigan Warriors have the edge in this matchup. “My heart wants Hull KR to win, but I think Wigan’s experience and hunger will make the difference,” he says. Wigan, having enjoyed immense success last year, has come up empty in 2025 and that makes them more dangerous. They are desperate for victory, which can drive teams to perform beyond their limits.
When it comes to the Rob Burrow Award, Wilkin picks Jai Field. “He’s a big-game player who shines when it matters most,” he claims. His prediction for the score? A narrow 10-6 victory for Wigan, as both teams display fierce defensive skills.
Jenna Brooks Shares Her Thoughts
Jenna Brooks also sees Wigan as the likely winners, but not without acknowledging the strong position Hull KR is in. This time, Hull KR finished first in the regular season, which adds an interesting twist to the matchup. “Both teams have the potential to make this one of the greatest Grand Finals ever,” she emphasizes.
Brooks believes the Rob Burrow Award will go to Bevan French, citing his ability to produce magical moments. She predicts a close score with Wigan winning by four points.
Barrie McDermott’s Predictions
Barrie McDermott considers this Grand Final to be an absolute classic in the making. “Wigan has pedigree, but I am leaning towards Hull KR as they might just deliver their best performance on the biggest stage,” he says.
For the Rob Burrow Award, he supports Magic Mikey Lewis for his creative play. McDermott predicts a tight contest ending with Hull KR winning 18-12. “Key battles will be crucial,” he points out, mentioning matchups that will be pivotal to the outcome.
Sam Tomkins on Wigan’s Chances
Former star Sam Tomkins backs Wigan Warriors to secure their third consecutive title. He believes Jai Field will be the standout player, taking home the Rob Burrow Award. His predicted score is 19-6, showing a slightly more comfortable victory for Wigan than last year’s 9-2.
Jon Wells and Stuart Pyke Offer Their Insights
Jon Wells echoes the sentiments of his fellow pundits and believes in a Wigan victory as well. He predicts a close battle with Hull KR losing 14-8.
Meanwhile, Stuart Pyke takes a different route, stating, “This year, I think it’s Hull KR’s turn to shine.” He believes they will complete a historic treble, predicting a final score of 17-10 in favor of Hull KR, showcasing their incredible season.
