HULL KR boss Willie Peters has revealed how close he came to becoming a Hull FC player - and what's underpinned his rise as a coach.
The Australian hopes to lead Rovers to their first-ever Super League title when they face Wigan on Saturday night.

Peters, who claimed Super League Coach of the Year on Tuesday, first came to the UK to play for Gateshead in 1999.
