Catalans Dragons v Hull KR: Willie Peters braced for true test of form in Perpignan

The Robins are fresh from back-to-back wins at Huddersfield Giants, signalling a return to form following their heavy Las Vegas defeat to Leeds Rhinos.

But Peters is cautious about reading too much into those results against the depleted Giants.

"We'll know more this weekend," he said.

"We played Huddersfield over a couple of weeks and they've had their fair share of injuries.

"This is a really important game for us. This is a game where we'll see where we're at and how much improvement we've made since the game in Vegas.

"Looking at the games against Huddersfield and certainly training sessions, I believe we are improving and heading in the right direction – but performing well gives you the best indicator. We'll know a bit more after this weekend's game."

Rovers lost seven straight matches in Perpignan before last year's convincing win at Stade Gilbert Brutus.

Peters is content to sweat over today's result if it means his team show the gritty qualities that drove them to the treble in 2025.

"It's about going over there, performing well and, most importantly, coming home with two points," he added.

"If it's a gritty 6-4 win, we'll take that every day of the week. I want to make sure we have some steel about us.

"It's a mentality thing. We've shown we can go over there and get a result now. We've got to have the mentality to do our job no matter who we play or where we play."

Peters has a decision to make in the back row after Rhyse Martin sustained a broken foot in last week's Challenge Cup win at Huddersfield.

With Arthur Mourgue also sidelined, the KR boss is down to his third-choice goalkicker.

"Our two main kickers aren't playing at the moment but Mikey (Lewis) kicked a major goal for us that won a Challenge Cup," said Peters. "He's proved he can kick under pressure.

"Is he our number one or two choice? No, he's not – but he's certainly a capable kicker."
