HULL KR head coach Willie Peters has been tipped to take over as shock head coach of NRL franchise Perth Bears from 2027.
NRL journalist David Riccio has told the Vossy and Brandy Breakfast Show that Peters, who has just Rovers to a Challenge Cup Final against Warrington Wolves, is a perfect candidate to take over at the Bears.
Riccio said: “There’s a smokey and I think it’s Willie Peters. He has the stocks and the goods to be an NRL coach.
“There’s Sam Burgess and Wayne Bennett in the mix which has some serious pulling power.”
Peters’ name has been mentioned despite Leeds Rhinos boss Brad Arthur and Warrington Wolves’ number one Sam Burgess also being linked with the Bears for 2027.
