Peters: We've got pride in not losing two in a row, that's what it boils down to

LESSONS HAVE BEEN LEARNED FROM SHOCK LOSS TO LEEDS, SAYS COACH

- By DAVID CRAVEN

Willie Peters insists leaders Hull KR have learned lessons from a rare defeat - ready to take into today's huge battle with Leigh Leopards.

The Super League frontrunners were stunned by Sunday's 14-8 home loss to Leeds Rhinos which ended a 11-game winning run.

It was only the Challenge Cup holders' second reverse of the campaign and meant the race for the League Leaders' Shield is no longer a foregone conclusion.

And top-two chasing Leopards are also in great form after bouncing back from 8-0 down to beat champions Wigan 18-8 at Leigh Sports Village last week.

That was a fourth win in five games for Adrian Lam's side and Robins boss Peters conceded: "We know they're a good team. We've played them earlier on in the year.

"They don't beat themselves: you need to find a way. And Wigan, going eight-nil up, the majority of the time, they're going to go on and win those games.
