Dave Petersen leaves Hull KR to pursue Australia dream with Mackay Cutters
HULL KR loose-forward Dave Petersen says an opportunity to play in Australia was 'too good to miss' and is the only reason he is leaving the Robins.
The 20-year-old was due to sign a new deal at Craven Park after breaking into the first team in the latter stages of last season.

Queensland-bound: Dave Petersen has left Hull KR
However, he has now opted to sign a one-year contract with Queensland Cup outfit Mackay Cutters.
"One minute I was signing for Hull KR and the next this opportunity came along," Petersen said.

"It was too good an opportunity to miss and I wondered whether it would ever come round again.
"Joel Clinton has just signed for the Cutters from KR and another team-mate Louis Sheriff will be playing for Brisbane Redcliffe Dolphins in the same league, so I will know a few guys down there.
"If I come back a better person and a better player, I will have achieved my goal and I will have that experience on my CV."
Petersen had spent last season on a dual-registration with KR and Workington Town.
He had been seen as a possible replacement for Scott Murrell at the Robins, who was released at the end of last season after seven years with the club, signing for Championship club Halifax.

“Oh dear the unemployed benefit scroungers are on here again today led by Twiglets aka Where's _Ranji aka THIRTY2THIRTY etc etc etc and of course the ageing old queens,auntie Slammer and Bridrobin.She gets more and more excited as the week goes on looking forward to her night out with her "young nephews" at Fuel.ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
I see the so called business man who wants to invest in the Dobbins owns TWO PIZZA SHOPS but Hudgell has to take what ever he can get because WITHOUT URGENT FURTHER INVESTMENT,THE DOBBINS WON'T LAST THE SEASON WITHOUT GOING INTO ADMINISTRATION.
Still when you think about it,one nights takings from a Pizza shop would be more than enough to buy out the Dobbins who have no assets and very little support.
All their young good players have either left or are leaving and the chatter on the Leeds web sites says that now that Leeds have had their offer for Bradford's Lulia turned down,they have turned their attentions to Kris Welham,who would relish a move to a big club.
THE DOBBIN'S SEASON PASS SALES ARE STILL STALLED ON 2,000 WHICH IS ABOUT THE FIGURE THEY'LL END UP.”

“Eddy
Looking forward to watching Prince next season?
Are you going to start going to matches this season rather than listening to matches on Humberside, although I know these Friday nights are a bit late for you.”

"Yeah, come on Bobbin Robbin lets see the same assessment of your own team. Your fellow KR fans must see posts like this and shudder with embarrassment. Seriously."
Not really, unlike the Gateshull (est.1998) fans across the river, we take adversity on the chin. We do not squeal like stuck pigs begging the RL for help.
Remember Hull Sharks? Well maybe not.
Where's Rangi? Where's Scott?
Keep buying the passes Muppets, Adam is still looking.
BEL1VE ??? You just have to laugh !!!

“Given how youve pulled our team to pieces, i can safely say the only players that'd get in our team (from KR) would be Dobson and Welham, and maybe Paea.”

“Ha ha Bobbin Robin, a very good assessment there!
Wonder how the halves will perform in 2013 after the boss publically called them useless last season because he thought he could replace them.
Its so funny.
Its effectively the same Hull side as 2012 with a couple of rejects from Hull KR.”
