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

The mix that Peters has developed at Hull KR is one that combines strength and power with creativity and subtlety.

Their pack has the engine and size of players like Jai Whitbread, Sauaso Sue, Kelepi Tanginoa and Sam Luckley to gain distance and poke holes in the defence, while the tireless work rate of stalwart Dean Hadley and James Batchelor is another factor in their success.

All this opens up possibilities 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 heavily to the points tally this season.

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

“It’s a huge achievement for Mikey and Mini because of the efforts they have put in this season and which have already started in pre-season,” Peters added.

I’m sure they will be the first to admit that it is their teammates who also helped them win the trophies.

“The team plays a big role in individual performance because rugby league is a team game, but certainly as individuals they have excelled this year.

“They are key positions, the backbone is known as the communicators, game managers and those who freeze the big moments.

“I really appreciate what the forwards do by letting them play, but I’ve seen a lot of growth from both of them over the last few years.
