Overview
- Peters was unveiled Monday as the PNG Chiefs’ inaugural head coach, joining after Hull KR’s 2026 season and using 2027 to ready the club for its first campaign in 2028.
- He leaves a revitalised Hull KR after delivering the 2025 domestic treble and a February win over Brisbane in the World Club Challenge.
- Hull KR thanked Peters for advance notice, called him their most successful modern coach, and began a measured search for his successor.
- Players learned of his decision earlier in the week and then thrashed St Helens 52-10 on Friday, signaling focus on this season’s goals.
- The PNG franchise is backed by Australian government funding and plans for gated housing and tax incentives in Port Moresby, with reported funding figures differing across outlets.
