Willie Peters has made one change to his Hull KR side to take on Castleford Tigers this evening at Wheldon Road.
The Robins have turned things around over the last couple of weeks with wins over Hull FC and Bradford Bulls and they’ll be pushing to pick up another result this evening against the Tigers who have suspended their head coach in recent days.
Sauaso Sue comes back into the side after missing last week’s game with an ankle injury and he starts the game in the front-row.
That’s a change that sees Tom Amone drop to the bench and Jordan Dezaria drop down to 18th man.
Jack Broadbent keeps his spot at full-back while Ryan Hampshire plays in the halves once more in the absence of Mikey Lewis.
Rhyse Martin will come off the bench once more with Jai Whitbread preferred in the back-row once more.
There’s a couple of familiar faces in the Castleford side with Jack Brown playing against KR for the first time since leaving in June. George Lawler and Phoenix Laulu-Togaga’e are able to call themselves former Rovers players too.
