Silverware hasn’t been a thing for Hull KR in a generation, discounting the Championship League Leaders Shield after their relegation in 2016, but it’s a prospect that’s back on the horizon under head coach Willie Peters.
Since the Australian took over ahead of the 2023 season the Robins have been arguably the third-best and most consistent team across all competitions but they still don’t have a trophy to show for it.

When the season is almost over, I genuinely believe that all of the best teams will be in danger due to the balance of that team.
Hull KR have got an issue on their right edge currently and that is the fact the second-rower James Batchelor is out injured and expected to miss five weeks, as confirmed by the club earlier this week.
