HULL KR go into this week’s Super League play-off clash against St Helens on Saturday night after having a week off.

Due to finishing top – and securing the League Leaders’ Shield – Rovers watched on as Saints ran out 16-14 winners against Leeds Rhinos last weekend.

Whilst a week off can be good to rest players that have niggles, Hull KR boss Willie Peters believes it will only be beneficial if his side make a strong start.

“It can certainly be an advantage if you come out of the blocks firing because that’s what you need to do,” Peters said.

“We’ve got the chance to do that after a week off. The last two years both teams have had a week off but you’ve got to earn the right and build it again.

“It’s the last chance to play at home so it’s a great opportunity for us and we need to take advantage of that.”
