Hull KR have answered a lot of them in the last two seasons. In fact, every time one is thrown at them, they have answered it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"hulldailymail\">Can they win outside of Yorkshire? Can they win a final? Can they handle the pressures of a Derby knock-out as favourites? Can they back up after winning a final? Can they win in Catalans? Can they beat Wigan?<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"hulldailymail\">Many others have been thrown at them beyond that, too. There has been a common trend. They have answered every single one. Emphatically.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"hulldailymail\">And here we are again, on the eve of a play-off semi-final, another question posed of this team.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"hulldailymail\">Do they have the energy?<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"hulldailymail\">It&#8217;s clear that Willie Peters is bored with those questions. In Wednesday&#8217;s press conference, he simply shut down anything related to that with a response to the tune similar to &#8220;Let&#8217;s see on Saturday.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"hulldailymail\">That, fundamentally, is Hull KR&#8217;s best way to answer. It&#8217;s also the way they have responded to everything else. They&#8217;ve never tried to convince anyone that they can do it. They&#8217;ve just gone and done it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"hulldailymail\">So you can understand why Peters has the confidence he does in this group. He speaks a lot about evidence and how it produces belief. He has proof that his team will answer the questions asked of them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"hulldailymail\">The challenge for <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hulldailymail.co.uk\/all-about\/hull-kr\" target=\"\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Hull KR<\/a> is simple: beat St Helens. A lot has been said about Paul Wellens&#8217; side this season, but any team that makes a semi-final has something about them. They are tough, hard to beat, and willing to go to war.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"hulldailymail\">Rovers know that too well. Yes, they have beaten them every time this season, but the last encounter, just over a month ago, was a humdinger that went to the final play. We know the Saints can win games in the final play.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"hulldailymail\">Many believe Saints is a preferable tie for Hull KR rather than facing Leeds. There&#8217;s merit behind that given the Rhinos have toppled the Robins twice this year. But it doesn&#8217;t mean this is an easy game. Far from it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Robins are being questioned once again.Hull KR celebrate Jez LItten&#8217;s try against Hull FC. Questions.
