Hull KR head coach Willie Peters is already looking ahead to the next challenge as his team secured their spot in the Betfred Super League Grand Final for the first time in the club’s history. In a hard-fought match against Warrington, Rovers managed to hold on to a 10-8 lead to claim victory and set up a showdown in the season-ending final.
Despite the emotional win at a packed Craven Park, Peters wasted no time in reminding his team that their mission is not yet complete. The focus has now shifted to preparing for the final clash against either defending champions Wigan or Leigh, with Peters making it clear that their goal is to come out on top and secure the title.
Reflecting on the team’s journey, Peters expressed his pride in the players and staff for their hard work and dedication that has brought them to this point. He acknowledged the challenges they have overcome to reach the Grand Final and emphasised the need to remain focused on the ultimate prize.
On the other side, Warrington head coach Sam Burgess raised concerns about the on-field decisions that influenced the outcome of the match. Burgess questioned the validity of Rovers’ second try, which was awarded following a video referral, suggesting that the process lacked clarity and fairness.
Despite the disappointment of the loss, Burgess acknowledged that his team’s performance fell short of the standards required for success in such crucial encounters. He stressed the importance of addressing their weaknesses and improving their game to compete at the highest level in future competitions.
As the anticipation builds for the Grand Final, both teams will be gearing up for a thrilling battle to claim the prestigious title. With Peters and Burgess leading their squads, the stage is set for an exciting showdown that will test the resilience and determination of the players as they strive for glory on the biggest stage in the Super League.
