The Hull KR head coach recently celebrated a huge milestone.\"Hull<\/p>\n

Hull KR head coach Willie Peters is ready for a big 2026 after recently celebrating a personal milestone.<\/p>\n

Willie Peters has hailed his tenure in charge of Hull KR as \u201can incredible journey\u201d after recently celebrating his 100th match as head coach.<\/p>\n

The 46-year-old officially began his role ahead of the 2023 Super League season and has since overseen significant growth for the Robins both on and off the field. That progress was highlighted by last year\u2019s historic treble-winning campaign, which also saw Peters become the first coach to win back-to-back Super League Coach of the Year awards.<\/p>\n

The 100 milestone was marked in emphatic fashion with Hull KR\u2019s record-breaking 104-0 Challenge Cup victory over community club Lock Lane in the third round of the competition<\/a>, launching the start of their title defence.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt goes quickly, 100 games. It\u2019s obviously my fourth year now, and it\u2019s been an incredible journey so far, with many highs during that time and challenges as well,\u201d Peters said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m always learning and wanting to get better. I\u2019m very fortunate to have the group I\u2019ve got, along with the support from the board, the staff and the playing group.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fan base as well – the support I received before I came over, with messages about what East Hull is all about – gave me an understanding of what it meant to them nice and early.<\/p>\n

\u201cNothing has changed for us. It\u2019s about making them proud, and we\u2019ll continue to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The daily grind of pre-season is now complete, with Super League\u2019s opening fixture awaiting as newcomers York Knights host defending champions Hull KR<\/a> at the LNER Community Stadium.<\/p>\n

Belief is sky-high that the Robins can deliver another outstanding campaign<\/a>, with all three trophies proudly on display at Sewell Group Craven Park – and the opportunity to add another later this month in the World Club Challenge.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve worked hard across pre-season,\u201d Peters added. \u201cWe\u2019re known for having physical and demanding pre-seasons. I\u2019m a massive believer that\u2019s where you set up your season.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe we\u2019re in a strong position to do well, and that\u2019s because of the pre-season. But that means nothing – Thursday night is what matters, how we play and our actions.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to making sure we set the tone nice and early for how we want to play this season.\u201d<\/p>\n
