Dean Hadley is the only Hull KR player who has been rested ahead of the Challenge Cup Final. The forward has been left out of Willie Peters’ final matchday squad before Wembley, with just two changes made to the side that defeated Warrington Wolves last time out.
Hadley, an ever-present last year, picked up a disciplinary charge this week, leaving him ominously close to a suspension. With all that in mind, he has been given the week off, ensuring he’ll be free to play next week.
Eribe Doro takes his place for his latest appearance of the season while the other change has seen Bill Leyland return to the side after an ankle injury. He replaces Danny Richardson.
But the rest of the side remains the same. Arthur Mourgue plays at fullback, the spot he will vacate next week as he is cup-tied. The man likely to replace him, Jack Broadbent, stays at centre. With Hadley rested, Jai Whitbread has moved to the front-row and Kelepi Tanginoa has been promoted to the starting line-up.
They take on a St Helens team with two changes. Matt Whitley and Harry Robertson return to the team, replacing Noah Stephens and Owen Dagnall.
