Head coach Willie Peters has confirmed his Hull KR 21-player squad to take on Leigh Leopards in Super League Round 15.

Jez Litten has been included, but a late call is set to be made on the England international hooker after he required scans on an ankle concern.

Bill Leyland and Karl Lawton have been named and are potential replacements.

Meanwhile, Oliver Gildart misses out after failing a head injury assessment against York Knights. Head coach Peters named James Batchelor, Rhyse Martin and Noah Booth as potential replacements for the centre spot, with the trio included in the extended squad.

After making his debut from the interchange bench against York, Tevita Pangai Junior retains his spot. Jai Whitbread, who was named 18th man last week before featuring for the club’s reserves, is also involved while Sauaso Sue returns from a one-match suspension.

Leigh, meanwhile, have been limited to naming a 20-player squad. Tesi Niu and Umyla Hanley could return, while Josh Charnley recently became Super League’s top try-scorer over Ryan Hall following his hat-trick in Leigh’s win over Bradford Bulls.

Utility Jack Hughes misses out after being handed a three-match suspension for unnecessary contact with a player who is injured or may be injured.

Heading into the round, the Robins sit third in the Super League table, while Adrian Lam’s Leigh remain outside the play-offs in seventh position.
