Jordan Dezaria will be forced to sit out of Hull KR’s clash with Castleford Tigers due to a head injury sustained in the win over Bradford Bulls, while Oliver Gildart has returned to the extended squad.
The centre missed the Super League Round 9 48-12 win at Odsal due to a minor ankle injury, but has been included in Willie Peters’ 21-man squad to take on Castleford on Thursday night.
Rising half-back Jack Charles has been included, while in-form winger Joe Burgess could also make his return after missing the recent victory due to illness.
Hooker Bill Leyland drops out of the extended squad.
Meanwhile, Castleford Tigers have added Tyler Dupree and Phoenix Laulu-Togaga’e to their injury-hit squad ahead of the trip to Sewell Craven Park, from Wigan Warriors and Catalans Dragons respectively. The pair could make their club debuts after immediately being included in Ryan Carr’s travelling squad.
