SL 2027 new coaches needed.

[Perth Red]

Very big shoes to fill after his success and with no rush to fill the role there’ll be plenty of speculation in coming weeks and months. Early speculators are Ian Millward from internally, Danny Ward external or Seibold international.

Hull KR CEO Paul Lakin has paid tribute to Willie Peters, while also praising the outgoing head coach for ensuring the club will have time to find his replacement.

Peters’ departure at season’s end has now been announced, with the Robins boss taking on a role with PNG Chiefs starting next term, ahead of their entry to the NRL in 2028.

While a blow for Rovers, Peters’ early decision does ensure they are in a position to take their time to find his replacement, something the Robins will now do.


“Announcing it now has bought us time,” Lakin told Love Rugby League. “That was all we ever asked for and was the most important thing for us. It gives us chance to take stock and importantly, take our time to make the right decision.”

The Robins will begin that process this week as the board meets to discuss their next steps.

“I never shied away from the fact that he wants to go back to the NRL one day,” Lakin said.

“I think this role really suits him, because he’s really big on connection, connectivity, building a culture. And this opportunity allows him to do it from scratch, which I think is perfect for him. I also know that by doing it at the time he has, it allows us to fully focus on the season ahead, which I’m particularly looking forward to.

“Willie’s obviously spoken to the players, and I very briefly have. And we’re all very focused on what we need to achieve. Willie’s the type of coach who will only focus on the here and now.

“It was emotional because we are close. He’s also close to the club as a whole, the supporter base and members of the board. And he’s the type of guy that is all in.

“I’m sure he’ll tell you at a later date, he feels like he’s had some of the best years of his rugby life.”

Siebold is available … perhaps Flanagan by the end of the season ?

Id say Hasler but I'm not sure the dressing rooms at kr are built for a loss on Haslers watch.

The toxic HFC culture at it again. New owners same problems. Cartwright should got to Dragons, I reckon he’d go well in France.

Not sure why they’re getting rid of Cartwright, in all honesty but I suppose it wouldn’t be Super League if Hull acted like a normal club. When he took over, they’d just finished joint bottom of Super League with London Broncos, whose team included builders, PT’s and IT workers. In his first season, they finished 7th. It’s a huge jump up in league position but also professionalism. I get this season hasn’t started great but they’ve been hit by injuries, like a few others, but they’ve lost to Wigan, KR and Leigh, who finished in the play-offs last year, and York. I don’t think they’re doing that badly so far.

Cartwright almost certainly won’t be coaching them on Thursday and I would expect some sort of announcement pretty soon that he’s gone or placed on gardening leave.
