There’s just one change to the Hull KR squad for their trip to Salford Red Devils this weekend. The Robins will have the opportunity to re-establish their lead at the top of Super League to four points when they take on Super League’s basement side, with Wigan Warriors out of action this week.
Jez Litten returns after completing the return to play protocols following a failed head injury assessment. He replaces Harvey Horne, the youngster who is moved out of the squad after going on loan to Doncaster.
It leaves the Robins basically fully fit. The only regular first-teamer who is absent is Oliver Gildart, who hasn’t played for almost three months following a knee injury suffered at Magic Weekend. He is, however, closing in on a return to action. Lee Kershaw is also out long-term.
They take on a Salford team that has improved in recent weeks but Willie Peters’ men will still be strong favourites to extend their lead at the top of Super League back to four points with just seven games of the Super League season remaining.
Rovers, who have already won the Challenge Cup this year, are slowly closing in on a domestic double.
Hull KR squad: Tom Davies, Peta Hiku, Joe Burgess, Mikey Lewis, Tyrone May, Sauaso Sue, Jez Litten, Hared Waerea-Hargreaves, Dean Hadley, James Batchelor, Elliot Minchella, Micky McIlorum, Sam Luckley, Jai Whitbread, Rhyse Martin, Jack Broadbent, Kelepi Tanginoa, Jack Brown, Bill Leyland, Arthur Mourgue, Noah Booth.
