Hull KR boss Willie Peters urges caution despite record-breaking Super League start

Willie Peters has urged caution after Hull KR's emphatic win at Castleford Tigers equalled their best-ever start to a season, warning it will mean little if they don't finish the job.

The Challenge Cup winners ran in nine tries to record their 14th victory in 15 league games and 10th consecutive win in all competitions.

Rovers have racked up 116 points in two matches since their Wembley triumph but Peters is determined to keep his side grounded in the race for the League Leaders’ Shield.

"I think it's our best start and that's great but it doesn't mean we've done anything yet in Super League," said Peters.

"There's a long way to go and not many people remember who had the best start to a season.

"We've got a few days off now and time to reflect on what we did a couple of weeks ago but in terms of Super League it's on next week against Wakefield, another challenging game at home.

"We've had a short turnaround but we wanted to ride the wave of what we've just done."

Danny McGuire is anticipating more difficult days at the start of a new era at Wheldon Road.

"I'm disappointed because I thought we did some really good things the week before and could see some progression," said the Castleford boss.

"But our journey does have some bumps in the road. They hurt and are the ones you learn from and get better from.

"You might fall off your bike every now and again on that journey but you've got to get back on and keep learning."
