Tries: Ashton 2
Hull KR reached their first Super League Grand Final after resisting a ferocious Warrington Wolves comeback at a rapturous Craven Park.
A James Batchelor try and contentious Joe Burgess finish put the hosts 10-0 up on a momentous night for a side transformed in recent years by head coach Willie Peters.
Matty Ashton scored two brilliantly taken second-half tries to give Sam Burgess' Wolves renewed hope of reaching a second major final this season - having made it to June's Challenge Cup decider, which they lost to Wigan.
In a pulsating finish, Hull KR's defence resisted a merciless barrage from Warrington, who had two late scores overruled as they fell just short in the first play-off semi-final.
