Willie Peters explains why Hull KR lost to Wigan

Willie Peters was no doubt disappointed to see his Hull KR side to lose to Wigan Warriors in golden point.

After the game, Peters explained he felt they had a chance to ice the game and they didn’t.

“We’ll take plenty from it,” Peters said on Sky Sports.

“It was a really good spectacle, brilliant to watch.

“We were in a position to win the game and we let it get away and we will get a lot learnt form that.

“I thought at one stage the game was going to get away from us but I was impressed by the way we got back in but then we had a chance to ice the game and we didn’t so a lot to learn from the game.”

He explained that the effort was there but that some areas let them down:

“They have high expectations of themselves, we want to compete every game that we play.

“Overall I am proud of the effort, even though we didn’t get the result.”

He admitted that his players will be disappointed as he said they are determined to be like Wigan:

“Certainly, when players put that much into a game and you don’t win, it can be disheartening.

“But we will have a look at it.

“Credit to Wigan they are a club that a lot of clubs are striving to be, a top four club we are striving to be.”
