Hull KR coach Willie Peters has done his homework on Rovers' next opponents, Leeds Rhinos.
Rohan Smith's men are coming off the back of a sensational comeback victory over Catalans Dragons, and now look to stay in the winners' circle as they travel to face the Robins at Craven Park in front of the Sky Sports cameras.
Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Robins boss Peters was quick to point out Leeds' strengths. The Australian is more focused on what his men do on the night but understands his troops have to be wary of an element of the Rhinos' attack.

"They are a confidence team, and there's no doubt about that," said Peters. "They like to play with momentum, and if they don't have momentum, they will try to win it back with short game moments. Like a kick across inside their own 20 like they did last week.
"We will control what we can, but we know they like short kickoffs and dropouts.
"We will stick to being Hull KR. That's who we've been so far, we know our identity, but we just need to be smarter in some areas. That's the main thing.
"We need to be confident going into each game, but we respect Leeds. They are Grand Finalists and have beaten St Helens and Catalans this season. But we are building as a team, and we have had a positive week of training.
The two sides have already met in 2023, albeit in pre-season. The Rhinos lost out 26-4 that day, but Peters knows that means nothing when it comes to Super League action.
"Leeds have evolved since then. It was only a friendly. We played well that way, but there was chopping and changes of players. Fatigue will set in, and each team will have limited subs this time. We aren't reading too much into that game.
"I thought our defence last week really showed up and showed how connected the group is and how hard they work for each other.
"That won't change this week. We need to have the same mindset.
"We always said once you get your defence right, you build more confidence in your attack, and you get more opportunities with the ball, you get in better field position, and that is no different this week.
"We will be looking to shut down a few of their key men and making sure we defend the way we did last week."
