Super League: Hull KR 8-14 Leeds Rhinos – Lachie Miller stuns leaders

Hull KR coach Willie Peters told BBC Radio Humberside:

“We had a lot of opportunities in the first half and if we had executed a couple of those tries the score at half-time could have been a little bit more. I was happy with our first half apart from that execution.

“That hurt us, and we came out a little bit slow in the second half. They won a lot of field position, got on top and we obviously had some ill discipline and they came over the top of us at the back end.

“You might only get one or two opportunities in big games but we had three there to put ourselves in a stronger position.

“We fought our way back and then gave a penalty away with the ball and they have two points. There are some more bits and pieces among that, but that was the main one.”

Leeds head coach Brad Arthur told BBC Radio Leeds:

“I saw the belief in them during the week, the way we trained in a good long turnaround, and sensed an expectation that they were coming here to win.

“Even at half-time we were 8-0 down but we weren’t bad. I thought we were very good in the first half, but they were very, very good. I said that to beat them we had to be very, very good in the second half, and we were.

“Credit to both sides – the footy was hand to hand and there weren’t a lot of errors.

“Last time we played them we had them with 10 minutes to go, a game we should have won, but we lacked a little bit of composure in the last 10 minutes and they came up with some big plays. We learnt from it and went after it tonight.”

On winning try: “I’ve talked about backing each other and being brave to go after the game. It’s not always going to go your way but when it doesn’t you have to be brave and strong and tough and find effort.”
