Willie Peters dedicates Hull KR's Challenge Cup semi-final win to partisan Doncaster crowd
Willie Peters dedicated Hull KR's Challenge Cup semi-final victory to the club's supporters after they took over Doncaster.
The Robins booked a third Wembley trip in four years thanks to a dominant performance against Warrington Wolves in front of a sea of red and white at the Eco-Power Stadium.
Rovers scored early through James Batchelor and did not look back, running in five tries on their way to a 32-12 triumph.
The KR faithful enjoyed every minute as the holders set up a May 30 date with Wigan Warriors at the national stadium.
"There's a proper connection here," said Peters.
"We're a community-based club and what we do is for these people. There's a lot of love and the players thrive off it.
"We're going to Wembley but we're going there to do a job."
Batchelor finished with a double, while Joe Burgess also scored a brace and Oliver Gildart chipped in with a try.
Ben Currie and Sam Stone responded for Warrington but they were well beaten by the all-conquering Robins.
Peters admitted Rovers took inspiration from Wigan's intent in their 32-0 victory over St Helens the previous day.
"We spoke about Wigan’s performance before the game around their defence," said the KR boss. "Defence wins big games.
"St Helens did some things to Wigan and Wigan just kept turning them away. Once they had a chance to score points, they did. All big games are won on defence.
"I’m very happy. We always talk about letting the scoreboard not dictate how we feel about the game. I thought we dominated the first half.
"If we went in at half-time and got worried about being only eight in front, they would have come at us hard. I liked how we attacked that second half."
Wigan stand between Rovers and sending Peters out with another Challenge Cup winner's medal.
"There's a lot of respect between the clubs," added the Australian, who is set to return to the NRL at the end of the year. "But at the end of the day, we both want to win."
