Mark your calendars, rugby league fans! Hull KR is gearing up for an exciting pre-season clash that's sure to get the adrenaline pumping.
Get ready for a thrilling warm-up match as Hull KR prepares to host Wakefield Trinity in a pre-season trial. This crucial game is scheduled for Sunday, January 25th at Sewell Group Craven Park. It's the only warm-up game for the Robins before the season officially kicks off.
But here's a key detail: this pre-season game is set to happen right after Hull KR's annual warm-weather training camp in Tenerife, which begins on January 9th. This means the team will be returning from their training camp just in time to face Wakefield Trinity.
Following the pre-season game, the team will enjoy a weekend off before diving into their first competitive match. This will be in the third round of the Challenge Cup, set for the weekend of February 7th/8th.
A significant change in the cup format ensures that top-flight teams will play their initial match away from home against a team that has successfully advanced from the earlier rounds.
Then, the Super League defense begins on Thursday, February 12th against York Knights at the LNER Community Stadium. The schedule continues with the World Club Challenge against Brisbane Broncos and the Las Vegas showdown with Leeds Rhinos a week later. This intense start to the year will test Willie Peters' treble-winning side.
