We have to strengthen reserves competition in the future - Peters

CURRENT SYSTEM CAN BE FALSE INDICATION OF TALENTS, SAYS KR COACH

- By DAVID CRAVEN

Willie Peters hopes to see the reserves competition improve next year and not remain a “false indication” of a player's talent.

The Hull KR boss was speaking in respect of new signing Cobie Wainhouse who has joined on loan from Hull FC until the end of the season ahead of taking up a two-year deal with the Robins.

Still aged just 19, the former England Academy international is, of course, far from the finished article.

It’s well-known that front-rows don’t mature until much later in their careers and Wainhouse is seen as someone who can be developed into a first-team forward.
