The Robins are at Odsal to face newly promoted Bradford Bulls
Hull KR’s Joe Burgess scores a try against St Helens.
Willie Peters has made two changes to his Hull KR line up to take on Bradford Bulls this afternoon at Odsal.
The Robins have the opportunity to move up to fifth in the Super League table today, leapfrogging Wigan Warriors and Catalans Dragons in the process.
However, they’ll be without Oliver Gildart, who picked up an ankle injury in the win over Toulouse Olympique last week. Peters was non-committal in the week regarding a return date for the centre, but he did suggest Gildart wouldn’t miss too much action.
Rhyse Martin is the man to start at centre in his place, with the forward stepping into the backline, as he did last week when Gildart was withdrawn.
However, Martin will have Noah Booth on his outside shoulder with Joe Burgess missing out this afternoon, too. Burgess was named in the 21-man squad and Willie Peters will be asked about the winger’s absence after the game.
Booth is a more than capable replacement for the winger, though, and the youngster will be keen to impress on his return to the side.
Jordan Dezaria has done enough to keep his spot in the side following an impressive debut last time out, while Sam Luckley comes back into the fold for the Robins.
