Super League in Las Vegas: Watch Erasure frontman Andy Bell entertain Hull KR fans at Fremont Street takeover
Hull KR fans were treated to a live rendition of Erasure’s ‘A Little Respect’ in Las Vegas.
Supporters of both the Robins and Leeds Rhinos descended on Fremont Street last night (February 26) for a huge takeover ahead of the Yorkshire derby between their clubs.
They will do battle at the Allegiant Stadium tomorrow (February 28), but there was a friendly atmosphere as fans soaked in the Las Vegas atmosphere.
Hull KR fans have made ‘A Little Respect’ their club anthem and the band’s frontman Andy Bell made a surprise appearance to perform it live.
Business first for Hull KR players
There has been plenty of time for partying for fans, but it will be a case of putting business first for the Hull KR players this weekend.
Robins boss Willie Peters told The Yorkshire Post: "It's all business. You obviously want to enjoy it because it's an experience we'll never get again as a team and a collective – but we're here to try and get two points. That's the main objective.
"I've highlighted publicly that the York game was disappointing. It was mainly around how we got beaten. The week after we went back to the game we know we're capable of.
"That sets us up for this week because Brisbane are similar to Leeds in terms of unstructured rugby and having individuals who can hurt you.
“It's very similar to last week. We're not just representing East Hull – we're representing Super League and the British game. We want to make sure we do everyone proud."
