Willie Peters is backing Hull KR to handle the pressure of a knockout clash with Salford Red Devils in their bid for a second crack at the Challenge Cup final.

The Robins beat Salford on the road to Wembley last year, only to fall short in agonising fashion in a golden-point thriller against Leigh Leopards. Rovers will begin this season's cup campaign with a home tie after getting back on track in Super League thanks to a convincing win over Huddersfield Giants. Peters gave short shrift to the suggestion that he might consider giving some of his players a breather against Salford. 'Why would we rest anybody?' said the Australian.

'We won the games prior to the Challenge Cup final and then went on a run of six wins at the back end of the season when we possibly weren't going to make the top six,' added Peters. 'There was pressure to win those games and we found ourselves in the top four. The players handled it extremely well. 'We're a team that's getting better at that. I'm looking forward to seeing how we handle that again on Friday night against a very good Salford team.
