‘No excuses’ – Willie Peters tees off after Hull KR get hammered in Las Vegas

Shocked boss Willie Peters offered no excuses after seeing his world champion Hull KR side thrashed 58-6 by Leeds Rhinos in Las Vegas.

The Robins conceded 10 tries in what Peters admitted was the worst performance since he took charge three years ago.

He fumed: “We were beaten in every area and, to be honest, the people I feel sorry for are the fans that paid hard-earned money to come today to watch that.

“They spend or save money to come and watch their team play and we deliver a performance like that, it’s just nowhere near good enough.”

The Hull KR coach stressed: “We need to all look at ourselves, myself at the top of that, to find out why we got that performance.

“It certainly brought us back down to earth, that’s for sure. There’s no excuses for what we just delivered.

“I’m not going to sit here and deliver excuses of last week and all that sort of stuff, because it’s going to get tougher. It’s only the start of the season.

“We all need to look at ourselves, every individual needs to look at themselves and look at why they delivered that performance and how they can improve.”

The result ruined the Robins’ pioneering week in Vegas and Peters added: “I’m happy with how the players handled themselves and conducted themselves during the week, but when it mattered to do our job, we didn’t do that. It would be the worst performance [since he has been at the club] for sure.

“I thought we started the game okay and we spoke at half time and said we’re not a feel-good team – when things go bad for us, we hang in there. We fight our way through it, but it went the other way.”
