Willie Peters has named his extremely young Hull KR side to take on St Helens this evening with Mikey Lewis the only regular starter in the side.
The stand-off will captain the side in what is their last regular season game of the season, with Lewis putting his hand up to lead the Robins’ youngsters through the contest. Lewis has missed the last three games, of which two were through suspension, and he’ll be keen to find some form tonight albeit in a side that is severely inexperienced.
Lee Kershaw is the oldest man in the team at 27 and the former London Broncos man will start on the wing, with Harvey Horne, Louix Gorman and Noah Booth named in the outside backs.
Flynn Holden is one of six debutants in the KR side with the former Warrington Wolves youngster getting a run out at full-back.
Mikey Lewis partners Jack Charles in the halves as expected, while Zach Fishwick plays alongside ex-Hull FC man Cobie Wainhouse in the front-row, with Wainhouse another who is making a debut
Ryan Westerman is another former Hull man making a Rovers debut in the back-row, while Alfie Woods gets a start.
Alex Gorman, Theo Middlemas and Alfie Petty will all look to make their debuts off the bench for the Robins.
