Hull KR welcome back influential half-back Mikey Lewis for Saturday’s Super League Round 19 clash, while the Robins will be without Jez Litten due to head injury protocols.

Reigning Man of Steel Lewis will slot straight back into the halves alongside Tyrone May, while Danny Richardson sustained an ankle injury in the defeat to Leigh Leopards which will see the playmaker miss an extended period.

Having recently returned from long-term injury, Rhyse Martin was not selected for the trip to the Leigh Sports Village. However, the Papua New Guinea international has been included in our predicted team, offering a chance to rest Kelepi Tanginoa, who has featured in all but one Super League matches this season, predominantly from the interchange bench.

With Litten unavailable, Bill Leyland could return to Super League action from the interchange bench. The 22-year-old hooker has made eight appearances in all competitions to date in his debut season at Sewell Group Craven Park. Micky McIlorum starts.

Tom Davies passed his head injury assessment late on against Leigh, while Sam Luckley, Jai Whitbread and Dean Hadley are also on our interchange bench to face the Dragons.

From the extended squad confirmed earlier this week, Noah Booth, Jack Brown and Harvey Horne miss out, alongside a potential rest for 31-year-old Tanginoa.

Predicted Hull KR side: Arthur Mourgue, Tom Davies, Peta Hiku, Jack Broadbent, Joe Burgess, Mikey Lewis, Tyrone May, Sauaso Sue, Michael McIlorum, Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, Rhyse Martin, James Batchelor, Elliot Minchella. Bench: Sam Luckley, Jai Whitbread, Dean Hadley, Bill Leyland.
