The Robins travel to face Leeds Rhinos on Friday night

Willie Peters has been forced to make two changes to his Hull KR squad to take on Leeds Rhinos on Friday night.
The Robins head to Headingley on the back of successive Super League victories and they’ll be looking to make a big statement by pegging back the league leaders and gaining some revenge for the result in Las Vegas earlier this year.
In some positive news, Oliver Gildart returns to the fold this week after missing the win over Leigh Leopards with a head knock. Jez Litten has also been included in the fold after missing last week’s game with an ankle injury.
It remains to be seen if Litten will play, but the hooker has been deemed to be fit enough to be named in the squad two days before kick-off in West Yorkshire.
Sauaso Sue has also been named in Peters’ 21-man squad. The prop has spent this week nursing a shoulder issue but he has been classified as fit enough to be involved in the squad.
There’s no Joe Burgess, though. The winger took a knock to the shoulder last week against Leigh and had to leave the field at the start of the second half. When speaking to the press on Tuesday, Peters confirmed that the injury wasn’t too bad and Burgess could have been involved this week at a push. However, the winger will be given the time he needs to recover.
Sam Luckley also drops out with the head coach confirming he has been struggling with a hamstring issue.
That means Cobie Wainhouse comes in for the Robins this week.
Hull KR: Tom Davies, Peta Hiku, Oliver Gildart, Mikey Lewis, Tyrone May, Sauaso Sue, Jez Litten, Tom Amone, Dean Hadley, James Batchelor, Elliot Minchella, Jack Broadbent, Jai Whitbread, Rhyse Martin, Karl Lawton, Jordan Dezaria, Noah Booth, Bill Leyland, Cobie Wainhouse, Ryan Hampshire, Tevita Pangai Jr.
