The Robins take on Hull FC once again on Thursday night.
Hull KR half-back Jack Charles.
Hull KR have named young half-back Jack Charles in their 21-man squad to face Hull FC at the MKM Stadium this Thursday night.
Charles is yet to make his Super League debut for the Robins, having featured in the Challenge Cup against Castleford-based amateur club Lock Lane earlier this season. He scored two tries in that tie, and has since featured for Rovers’ reserves side and on loan at Championship outfit Goole Vikings.
The 20-year-old replaces Mikey Lewis, who is suspended for four matches following two incidents in last Saturday’s defeat at Warrington Wolves – one a ‘late contact on the passer’ charge (one game) and the other a ‘headbutt’ (three games).
Willie Peters also has Arthur Mourgue, Jack Broadbent, Ryan Hampshire, and Bill Leyland in the 21, with the Aussie coach having plenty of spine options to call on.
Elsewhere, young outside back Noah Booth misses out due to a failed HIA. He is replaced by Peta Hiku, who is available once again after serving his recent suspension.
Joe Burgess and Jai Whitbread remain in the 21-man. The duo didn’t play at Warrington last weekend.
Meanwhile, the Robins are looking to complete a third successive clean sweep over Hull. They won the two previous meetings at Craven Park and Magic Weekend this year and also won all three meetings in each of the 2024 and 2025 seasons. Hull’s last win over Rovers came in July 2023.
Hull KR 21-man squad: 1. Arthur Mourgue, 2. Tom Davies, 3. Peta Hiku, 4. Oliver Gildart, 5. Joe Burgess, 7. Tyrone May, 8. Sauaso Sue, 9. Jez Litten, 10. Tom Amone, 11. Dean Hadley, 12. James Batchelor, 13. Elliot Minchella, 14. Jack Broadbent, 15. Sam Luckley, 16. Jai Whitbread, 17. Rhyse Martin, 19. Karl Lawton, 20. Jordan Dezaria, 22. Bill Leyland, 24. Jack Charles, 34.
