Rovers will be close to full strength on Saturday
Hull KR head coach Willie Peters expects to be able to call on Dean Hadley, Tom Amone and Arthur Mourgue this weekend.
The Robins take on Warrington Wolves on Saturday and the expectation is that they will have a full squad to choose from barring Peta Hiku and Tevita Pangai Jr who are both suspended.
Mourgue hasn’t been seen since May after re-injuring his pec in his first game back in the action and despite being named in the 21-man squad to play Wakefield Trinity last time out, he wasn’t risked.
Hadley and Amone, on the other hand, have missed the last two games following a clash of heads in the opening few minutes of the game against Leeds Rhinos last month.
Hadley was ruled out immediately after failing a HIA, while Amone managed to play on with a fractured eye socket before sitting out of Magic Weekend and the clash with Wakefield.
They’re both ready to return this weekend though and they’ll make a big impact.
“Arthur got through today and he’s good to go. It’s great to have him back and Dean Hadley will be coming back as well,” Peters said.
“Dean is massive. Both players are really important to us. Tom Amone is back in this week as well. There’s three players there that will help the team, provide some energy and it’s good to have them back in.
“Arthur has had a tough season. He came back strong in pre-season, he looked sharp and he put some size on but he had that injury early on and he came back and did the same injury. We needed to make sure and wait until he felt confident enough to be able to play again and he certainly is now.
“He’s big but Dean Hadley is massive to our pack and he’s so underrated and I’m glad he’s getting recognised with England squads because he’s very important to what we do.
“I’d like to think it gives a huge lift to the group. On the back of last week, we weren’t happy with that performance so we’re looking forward now and those three guys can certainly help.”
