This match resulted in Hull Kingston Rovers' relegation from the Super League after ten consecutive years into the RFL Championship. Following Gareth O'Brien's match-winning drop goal, a pitch invasion took place that resulted in fighting between fans and stewards that eventually required police intervention. Following a RFL investigation, in February 2017, Hull Kingston Rovers were fined £25,000 (£20,000 suspended) after the RFL found the club guilty of breaking ground safety rules and failing to control their supporters. ^[39]
