The most important points of Hull Kr with Wigan Warriors in Super League.
“First of all, Jared is a family man, a men’s leader and a really good man. He is probably one of the best leading rows of all time,” Peters said.
“Jared’s standards are there with the best I have seen. Helps every day in Hull KR drive our level of culture and intensity.
“This is a fully decision of Jared at the end of the season. In fact, we went to Amsterdam and that was the first time we talked about it. When we talked around 2026, Jared said he decided and said by the end of the season that it would be time.
“Jared deserves retiring for his conditions. She must go out for his game and do it at the moment.”
