Peters' boys hammered in top spot hunt

WILLIE PETERS is still waiting for his Hull KR side to confirm top spot in Super League after they were battered by Wakefield.

With the League Leaders’ Shield at their mercy, Rovers delivered by far their worst performance of the season, as the hosts blazed into a 26-0 halftime lead to set up a victory that takes them to the brink of the playoffs.

Head coach Peters (right) out-of-sorts Rovers must now revive themselves and beat Warrington in their last match of the regular season at Craven Park on Thursday to ensure they enter the postseason in first place.

Wakefield, inspired by the returning Max Jowitt, who scored a try and kicked 12 points in a near-faultless display, know a win at bottom club Salford on Friday will be enough to seal a top-six spot in their first season back in the top flight.
