TREBLE YELL

Rovers can join Super League royalty with Grand Final glory

- BY MATTHEW SHAW

ON Saturday, Hull KR have the opportunity to become just the fifth team in Super League to win the treble.

As Grand Final countdown week begins, we take a look at the Super League Royalty they aim to join – Bradford 2003, St Helens 2006, Leeds 2015, Wigan 2024 – by adding the SL title to the League Leaders Shield and the Challenge Cup.

BRIAN NOBLE'S Bulls were invincible, storming to victory on all fronts with a blend of skill, raw physical power and no shortage of character.

Their squad boasted legendary names such as Shontayne Hape, Lesley Vainikolo, Robbie Paul, Paul Deacon, Jimmy Lowes and Jamie Peacock (above).

Australian Michael Withers was a standout presence at fullback, while Hape and Scott Naylor formed the centre pairing and hulking wings Tevita Vaikona and Vainikolo patrolled the flanks.

Vainikolo 'The Volcano' - had the ability to decimate opposition defences single-handedly, thanks to his speed and strength. He scored 26 tries that year.
