Hull KR boss Willie Peters is ready to “annoy” Kris Radlinski again - more than 20 years after doing so as the Wigan legend’s next door neighbour.
Australian Peters takes charge of the Robins for the first time on Saturday as they begin their Betfred Super League campaign against Warriors. It’s a perfect opener for his first-ever game as a head coach given he had the time of his life with the Cherry and Whites in 2000. Peters, 46, played in a great side alongside current Wigan CEO Radlinski, Andy Farrell, Jason Robinson and Steve Renouf.
After joining from Gateshead Thunder, he scored 15 tries in 29 games to help Wigan finish top and reach the Grand Final before heading home to St George Illawarra. Peters recalled: "I loved it; that year was one of the best years of my life. I played with Rads but lived right next door to him, too!
