Willie Peters insists Hull KR must have higher standards after ending promising season on sour note

Willie Peters has stressed that Hull KR cannot be content with a Wembley outing and a Super League semi-final in his first season in charge.

The Australian became KR head coach in late 2022 and fell agonisingly short of ending the club's 38-year wait for major silverware in the Challenge Cup final. But after guiding Rovers to a top-four finish and within 80 minutes of a maiden Grand Final, Peters saw his side produce one of their worst performances of the campaign in a 42-12 hammering at Wigan Warriors. 'It's a good first season but what we want to do is be great,' said Peters.

“Obviously we didn’t start well in both halves which hurt us and we had no momentum in the game which is disappointing. “But overall I’m extremely proud of the whole club for what we’ve achieved this year. We’ve come a long way but we’re not where we wanted to be. We want to be playing in those major games.” Peters paid special tribute to club stalwart Shaun Kenny-Dowall whose decorated playing career came to an end in disappointing fashion.
