About this episode

The episode reflects on Hull KR's defeat in the Challenge Cup Final and pays tribute to John Kear.

This week on The Robin Pod, we take an honest and in-depth look back at a tough day at Wembley as Hull KR fell short in the Challenge Cup Final against Wigan. We break down where it all went wrong for the Robins, analysing the key moments, tactical decisions, and turning points that ultimately led to a disappointing defeat on the big stage. Away from the match, we pause to pay tribute to a true legend of the game. The rugby league world is mourning the loss of the iconic John Kear, and we reflect on his immense contribution to the sport and the lasting legacy he leaves behind as “Mr Rugby League.” Fan favourite Steve Till returns for another edition of Robins Revisited, bringing plenty of insight, nostalgia, and discussion that you won’t want to miss. As always, we round off the show by diving into your questions during Question Time and of course look forward to Saturday as the Robins return to Super League action against Wakefield. And don't forget the Robin Pod is powered by Budget Tyres Autocentre, the only car specialist trusted by the players, club officials and supporters of the World famous Hull Kingston Rovers.
