Super League play-offs: Hull KR eye Grand Final after rapid rise

The mixture Peters has nurtured at Hull KR is one that harnesses power and strength with equal parts creativity and subtlety.

Their pack has the motor and bulk in players such as Jai Whitbread, Sauaso Sue, Kelepi Tanginoa and Sam Luckley to make yardage and blast holes in defences, while the tireless workrate of stalwarts Dean Hadley and James Batchelor is another factor in their success.

All this opens up opportunities for livewire hookers Jez Litten and Matt Parcell, as well as halves Tyrone May and Lewis and ball-playing lock Minchella.

There is a free scoring backline with veteran Ryan Hall, Joe Burgess and Peta Hiku among those who have contributed much to the points tally this season.

Such overall displays brought individual recognition for Minchella and Lewis with Dream Team selection.

“It’s a huge achievement for Mikey and Mini for the efforts they’ve put in this season and that started back in preseason,” Peters added.

“I’m sure they’d be the first to admit that it’s their teammates who have helped them get the awards as well.

“The team plays a big part in individual achievements, because rugby league is a team game but certainly as individuals they’ve excelled this year.

“They’re key positions, the spine are known as the communicators, game managers and the ones that ice the big moments.

“I really value what the forwards do too in allowing them to play, but I’ve seen a lot of growth in both of them over the past couple of years.
