Rovers are missing a host of key names this evening
Jez Litten of Hull KR
Hull KR will be without a handful of star names this evening as they take on Leeds Rhinos at Headingley.
The Robins travel to West Yorkshire on the back of the two successive wins but in Brad Arthur’s side they face a team who sit on top of the Super League table at present. The Rhinos have been the standout team this season and the memories of KR’s Las Vegas hammering at the hands of Leeds have flooded back this week.
Willie Peters will be without Sam Luckley and Joe Burgess this week through injury, with Luckley having a hamstring problem and Burgess struggling with the shoulder issue he picked up last weekend.
However, they continue to be without Jez Litten, who missed last week with an ankle issue and while he was included in the 21-man squad, he hasn’t been deemed to be fit enough to be involved.
Sauaso Sue also misses out this week. Sue picked up a shoulder issue last week and hasn’t travelled with the squad either.
That means Dean Hadley starts through the middle, with Jordan Dezaria stepping onto the bench.
Noah Booth is selected to start on the wing for the Robins with the youngster set to partner the returning Oliver Gildart, who missed last week through a head knock, on the left wing.
Hull KR : Jack Broadbent; Tom Davies, Peta Hiku, Oliver Gildart, Noah Booth; Mikey Lewis, Tyrone May; Tom Amone, Karl Lawton, Dean Hadley; James Batchelor, Jai Whitbread; Elliot Minchella.
Bench: Tevita Pangai Jr, Bill Leyland, Jordan Dezaria, Rhyse Martin.
