Speaking ahead of our Round 11 clash on Sunday, Hull KR head coach Willie Peters says "I think that this week will be a good game for us. What we need is a professional & clinical performance.
”If you look at when we played London here (Craven Park) we had a good first half and then it was a 10-6 score line in the second half. For us it’s about staying in games for longer periods.
“It’s a good opportunity to play against a team which has nothing to lose and off their first win will be confident so there’s no doubt they’ll throw a lot at us”.
Also ahead of this Sunday’s fixture, we caught up with Broncos assistant coach Jordie Hedges, who says “Well let ourselves down that first game (vs Hull KR) especially in the first half so we are looking to put a few things right from that game.
“The second half showed that we could do it. We put ourselves in a much better position but obviously you can’t afford to let teams get ahead like that and especially Hull KR.
“We’re looking forward to an 80 minute performance which we can put in against these boys.”
Broncos’ media also caught up with new permanent signing Ugo Tison who was speaking about the rest of the season with the Broncos. Tison says “I’m very excited because it’s been a long time coming and after picking up that injury it has been a long road to recovery.
“My English is improving day after day; I speak often with the boys so it has been good for me!
“I’ve played four good games, more minutes than for the Dragons which is good for me, and I want to stay here and play week after week.
“It’s difficult for sure because of my family and the Dragons is my club but I need to take a big decision, so I choose to stay here and play more. It’s a big move”.
