Hull KR “certainly not underdogs”, says Price

Warrington Wolves Head Coach Steve Price Hull KR are “certainly not underdogs” ahead of their playoff match on Friday night.

Both sides are playing for the chance to keep their seasons alive on Friday, and set up a match against either Catalans Dragons or St Helens for a place in the Super League Grand Final.

Price refused to be drawn on whether or not Hull KR would be classed as the underdogs, saying any side within the top six has a chance.

He said: “They are certainly not underdogs. Any team who is still alive this time of year, you certainly don’t underestimate.

“They have a coach there in Tony (Smith), who has been around the game for a very long time, and we have a lot of respect for.

“Also, they have a lot of quality players. Their left side is one of the most potent left-side attacks in the competition. We need to be on high alert.

“They have a good team, and we need to be at our best.”
