Warrington Wolves beat Hull KR to book a Super League semi-final against Leeds Rhinos, though head coach Sam Burgess has been left bemoaning the fact his side only have a six-day turnaround.<\/p>\n
Wire won 35-12 in convincing fashion<\/a> to end the tenure of Willie Peters at Hull KR, with the win ensuring Warrington travel to Headingley on Friday night. However, Burgess has hit out at that turnaround time, arguing that it\u2019s not enough, especially as hosts Leeds will have had two weeks\u2019 rest before the game.<\/p>\n Speaking post-match on Sky Sports, Burgess said: \u201cWe\u2019ve got a six-day turnaround which is nuts in finals time. You finish third and you get a six-day turnaround.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s crackers. It\u2019s absolutely crackers, but you\u2019re barking up the wrong tree because no-one does anything about it. We\u2019re looking forward to it. We\u2019ll be ready for another good contest.\u201d<\/p>\n Wire had finished level on points with Leeds, who came second, meaning points difference is what stopped Burgess\u2019 side from placing second and earning the larger rest period.<\/p>\n Super League Dream Team reaction, England selection debate, and are Wigan Warriors unstoppable? \u2013 Click here to watch the latest episode of the Serious About Rugby League Show<\/a><\/p>\n Warrington Wolves urged to improve after wasteful display<\/p>\n In his assessment of the game, the Warrington boss spoke about it being a \u2018strange\u2019 80 minutes, lamenting his side for struggling more against 12 men than 13, as well as the fact he felt they wasted changes.<\/p>\n Most Read on Serious About Rugby League<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m proud of the group. It was a very strange game. A bit of a strange game, but pleased to come through and go to the next stage,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cI felt like we need to get better at attacking when we were playing against a team with 12. I thought we attacked a little bit better in the first half. In the first half as well, we really felt dominant and were pretty disappointed to be in at the scoreline that we went in.<\/p>\n \u201cWe left dead set two or three tries out there, a couple in the second half as well so we\u2019ve just got to be mindful that precision is important. Over the course of a game, you have to be really mindful that you don\u2019t give too many away.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve been around the game long enough to know that they add up, and you just can\u2019t miss that many. The boys are calm about it but we just needed more precision. We could have finished the game much earlier.\u201d<\/p>\n Speaking more on positives, he added: \u201cI loved our effort and energy and tenacity to turn up, especially in the first half. I thought we were phenomenal.\u201d<\/p>\n He also issued an injury update, confirming that Ewan Irwin was fine despite limping late on, something he claimed was a result of Hull KR putting late shots in on the young player.<\/p>\n Burgess said: \u201cHe\u2019s got a bit of a target on him. It seems to hit him off the ball a little bit. He\u2019ll be okay. This time of year, everyone wants to play, so they\u2019ll all find a way to get on the field.\u201d<\/p>\n A hat-trick from Matty Ashton sends Warrington Wolves to the Super League semi-final after an emphatic victory over Hull KR \u27053\ufe0f\u20e3 pic.twitter.com\/VonmG76osy<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Sky Sports Rugby League (@SkySportsRL) September 19, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t![](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/1789864452_925_srl-logo.png\"\/){kind=logo}
