Hull KR head coach Willie Peters prepares for his final match at Sewell Group Craven Park this Friday, September 4, with a play-off spot at stake. A victory over Huddersfield Giants will secure a top-six finish for the club in the Super League. If Hull KR fails to win, the team remains dependent on other results, including the outcome of the match between St Helens and Leigh Leopards. This fixture marks the likely end of the tenure for Peters, who is scheduled to depart for the PNG Chiefs in the NRL. The club owner Neil Hudgell confirmed the organization did not impede the transition for the coach, who previously guided the Robins to their first trophy since 1895 and a World Club Challenge win.
