HULL KR captain Shaun Kenny-Dowall won’t allow himself time to think about retirement as he’s too intent on getting the Robins to Wembley.
The popular ex-Kiwi international announced three weeks ago he will call it a day at the end of the season. It would be easy for the hard-running centre, 35, to now be ticking off every game, savouring every moment. But with KR - who host red-hot Salford in today’s crunch Challenge Cup quarter-final - having dropped into Super League’s lower half, Kenny-Dowall can’t afford to.
He admitted: “I’ve not even thought about it. With the predicament we’re in I guess the full focus just goes into the games we’ve got coming up and trying to get our season back on track. That’s the priority. Everything else is on the back-burner. I’ve made my decision and was glad to get it out of the way early for that reason: so I could give my full attention to the back end of the season. We’ve a massive opportunity against Salford and that’s all I’m thinking about.”
