A key man has dropped out for the Robins
Sauaso Sue of Hull KR celebrates with Jez Litten after scoring a try.
Hull KR boss Willie Peters has made four changes to his side to take on Castleford Tigers this evening at Craven Park.
The Robins are looking to pick up their sixth win in a row in all competitions and if they do, they could move into the top three of Super League, albeit with six games of round 10 still to play.
As expected, KR welcome Oliver Gildart and Joe Burgess back into the outside backs tonight. Burgess missed last week’s game through illness, while Gildart sat the game out due to the ankle injury he picked up in Toulouse a fortnight ago.
That’s a change that sees Noah Booth drop down to 18th man duties, while Rhyse Martin, who played centre last week, is named in the back-row.
Martin takes the spot of Dean Hadley, who will be playing through the middle this week in place of Sauaso Sue. The prop isn’t involved at all and Peters can expect to give an update on that after the game.
Karl Lawton starts at hooker, with Jez Litten’s minutes being managed off the bench. Jack Brown also comes into the fold and is named on the bench, with Jordan Dezaria and Bill Leyland dropping out.
Castleford boss Ryan Carr has handed out four debuts this evening. Former KR man Phoenix Laulu-Togaga’e starts at full-back, while Tyler Dupree, Tom Nicholson-Watton and Brad Dwyer will be in action, too.
