Hull KR head coach Willie Peters:
“We needed to find a way to win today. There’s no doubt our attack today wasn’t very fluent and it needs to improve, but we fought and that’s the part I’m happy about.
“When it got tricky and tough the players leant into it. Leading into the game there was a lot of talk about where we were at, but they’re the games you get a lot of satisfaction out of because you learn a lot about the players and their character.
“There’s some teams that would probably have lost that game but we found a way. It certainly wasn’t perfect but I liked the fight that was shown.”
Hull FC interim head coach Andy Last told BBC Radio Humberside:
“We definitely could have won the game. I thought there was a period in the second half where we had all the momentum. We were asking lots of questions of Hull KR’s defensive line but we lacked a little bit of composure and coming up with a killer pass when needed to.
“It was a good performance, there were lots of aspects I liked, but there were things we need to do better because I can’t constantly be patting blokes on the back for the effort being good – we need to start turning those efforts into wins.
On what he thought was the key moment in the game: “The moment where Lewis Martin is forced into an error coming off his try line and they score straight off the back of it, that is a key moment in the game. There were some refereeing decisions I was disappointed in.”
