Hull KR head coach Willie Peters has confirmed that Tyrone May will play for the Robins on Tuesday night against Warrington Wolves.
May was forced to leave the field due to a knee issue in the final 15 minutes of Thursday’s game against Catalans Dragons, shortly after he had touched down for Rovers’ final try in the game.
The head coach expressed a degree of concern when he spoke to the press after the win over the Dragons and the scrum-half has been for scans to assess the joint ahead of the rearranged clash with Warrington.
Those assessments showed up a small injury in his knee, but it won’t be enough to stop him from playing for KR tomorrow night after being named in the club’s 21-man squad.
“Tyrone is OK,” Peters confirmed. “He had a scan and there’s a minor issue there but he’ll play tomorrow. It was around his knee but as I say, he’s OK.”
Peters made three changes to his 21-man squad with Sauaso Sue returning after sitting out of the Dragons clash, while Mikey Lewis and Arthur Mourgue returned from suspension and injury respectively.
There’s still no Oliver Gildart, though, with the centre set to sit out of his second straight game due to the issue he picked up at Castleford Tigers earlier this month.
“We’ve got a squad and we want to make sure that everyone going into the game feeling close [to 100%],” Peters said. “No one is at 100% but you’re feeling close to it. So we didn’t feel it was right. We feel that the players that’s picked in the team will do the job and they’ve doen the job so we’re sticking with what we’ve got.”
