The most recent items of silverware in Hull KR's trophy cabinet when Willie Peters arrived as head coach in the winter of 2022 were the one-off Challenge Plate from a rare visit to Wembley in 1997, and a handful of subsequent second-tier honours. bbc.com are reporting
For almost four decades, the Robins had not truly been at the pinnacle of rugby league, last claiming the championship title in the 1984-85 season.
Since then, the club faced significant challenges including narrowly avoiding liquidation, dealing with administration, fluctuating between divisions, and finishing at the bottom of the league as recently as 2020.
Tony Smith, Peters' predecessor, had initiated a recovery, guiding the team to a playoff campaign in 2021 and a semi-final appearance in the Challenge Cup in 2022. However, his departure mid-season that year resulted in the club missing the top six.
The subsequent developments under Peters transformed Hull KR into a formidable contender, breaking their decades-long wait for silverware and bringing them within a mere 80 minutes of achieving a treble.
