PETERS CALLS FOR GREATER WILL-POWER

WILLIE PETERS will encourage his Hull KR side to aim high after watching them start the Super League season in style against Wigan.

Shaun Kenny-Dowall scored a hat-trick in a stirring win for Rovers, whose only negatives were injuries to Ryan Hall and Rhys Kennedy that are set to keep them out of Thursday night’s trip to Salford.

Peters, who replaced Tony Smith as head coach in the close season, is convinced his new club must target silverware after too many years in which mid-table finishes were often seen as a benchmark of success.

“The big thing for our club is the lack of belief that we can really do something, which has really held us back over a few years,” said Peters (above).
