The Roger Millward Trophy returns for this Saturday's Castleford Clash

Hull KR and Castleford Tigers will again celebrate one of rugby league’s all-time greats this Saturday when the two clubs compete for the Roger Millward Trophy at Sewell Group Craven Park in Round 21 of the 2025 Betfred Super League.

The trophy was introduced in 2018 and is modelled on Roger’s famous number six shirt, remembering the Robins and Castleford icon who sadly passed away in 2016 at the age of 68.

Having started his career with Castleford, Roger scored 16 tries and 35 goals during a two-year spell with Castleford, before moving to Hull KR in 1966.

'Roger the Dodger' went on to become a legend of the sport, making 406 appearances for the Red and Whites and scoring a club record 207 tries along with 607 goals.

Roger helped the side to secure 1980 Challenge Cup and the first Premiership and Championship double in the 1983-84 season, etching himself in Hull KR's history forever.

A Great Britain and England international as a player, Roger later served as a coach at the club, committing 25 years’ service in total and was fittingly awarded an MBE for his services to Rugby League in 1983 and inducted into the Rugby League Hall of Fame in 2000.

This season, the occasion sees the return of the Robins’ famous number six jersey, adorned by Man of Steel, Mikey Lewis. The iconic number was brought out of retirement with the blessing of Roger’s widow, Carol Millward and their family for Lewis ahead of the 2025 season.

The Robins currently hold the trophy after a 36-6 win over the Tigers last season.
