<\/p>\nThe Hull KR star has opened up on the Vegas dressing room and what’s next from his team ahead of facing Huddersfield Giants.<\/p>\n
Hull KR are aiming to right their wrongs this week following their heavy Las Vegas defeat.<\/p>\n
James Batchelor says Hull KR are determined to right their wrongs after admitting the Robins were left \u201cembarrassed\u201d by their Las Vegas humiliation.<\/p>\n
Rovers – who currently have all four major trophies on display at Sewell Group Craven Park – were thrashed 58-6 by Leeds Rhinos in Sin City, the opening contest of rugby league’s triple header in the United States.<\/p>\n
The defeat concluded a chaotic start to the season for Willie Peters\u2019 side, following an opening Super League loss to newcomers York Knights and the emotionally-charged World Club Challenge victory over Brisbane Broncos.<\/p>\n
Influential back-rower Batchelor did not hide from the recent performance.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were pretty embarrassed with what we dished up,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt wasn\u2019t what the fans should expect or deserve, especially with them travelling all that way. We were embarrassed by it, but we\u2019ve dealt with it now and it\u2019s time to move on.\u201d<\/p>\n
Batchelor admitted the coaching staff were right to be furious after the display, with head coach Willie Peters labelling it the worst performance under his tenure<\/a>. Brad Arthur’s Rhinos ran riot, crossing for 10 tries – including four from powerhouse winger Maika Sivo.<\/p>\n \u201cThe coaches were right to feel how they did – I think a bit angry at us,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n \u201cWe deserved that because what we dished up wasn\u2019t a good reflection of the club, the badge, the supporters or the staff who prepare us all week.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s on us personally. The coaches are a great group and they always look at themselves before they look at us. But ultimately we put that performance out there and it had nothing to do with them. They were pretty disappointed in us – and rightly so.\u201d<\/p>\n Head coach Peters has challenged his side to respond when they face Huddersfield Giants on Sunday at the Accu Stadium<\/a>, with Hull KR<\/a> still searching for their first Super League points of the new season.<\/p>\n The Giants are also winless to start their new campaign, while Batchelor insists the Hull KR players have confronted their mistakes – and are determined to make amends.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat\u2019s happened has happened,\u201d said the 27-year-old.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re not going to ignore it and it\u2019s not going to get swept under the rug. There\u2019s a lot we need to be better at and a lot we need to learn from.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s an opportunity for us now to say: \u2018Right, we\u2019ve dealt with that, we\u2019ve addressed it and we\u2019re going to focus on improving.\u2019<\/p>\n \u201cWe need to nail every session, nail the team run, nail the game – then move on to the next week and do the same again.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s about building it day by day.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Hull KR star has opened up on the Vegas dressing room and what’s next from his team…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":462310,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[20372,5903,20370,161165,101,20373,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-462309","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-rugby","tag-hull-kr","tag-rugby","tag-rugby-league","tag-rugby-league-las-vegas","tag-sports","tag-super-league","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/462309","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=462309"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/462309\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/462310"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=462309"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=462309"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=462309"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
