Sam Luckley is hoping to earn more love from boss Willie Peters on his home Hull KR bow.
The no-nonsense prop was described as the “gamechanger” after coming off the bench to help fire last week’s win at his former club Salford. Ahead of Friday’s game against Leigh, Luckley, 27, insisted: “You don’t really think about things like that. You just do your job the best you can so it’s always nice to get special comments like that from your coach and your peers.
“But it was brilliant. Obviously I had a bit of mixed emotions as I was at Salford last year and it was my first Super League club so it was good going back and seeing some familiar faces. I’m still pals with them so it was nice to see them but also good to get my Hull KR debut and kick-start my campaign.”
