Willie Peters has made four changes to his Hull KR squad ahead of this Saturday’s clash with Toulouse Olympique.
The Robins face the French side on the back of a four-day turnaround after losing on Tuesday night to Warrington Wolves and the head coach has made some big calls.
Mikey Lewis and Tevita Pangai Jr are both eligible to play this week despite being handed two and four game bans respectively by the Match Review Panel early on Thursday morning.
However, neither man will be involved against Toulouse with Peters voluntarily removing them from his squad following their actions on Tuesday against Warrington.
Lewis was sin-binned for an act of dangerous play while trying to charge down a Ewan Irwin kick, catching the youngster on the shin with his boots. That’s something he has been given a two-game ban for.
Pangai Jr, on the other hand, has been given three late contact on passer charges which add up to a four-game ban.
Those bans only come into effect next week but Peters has seemingly sent a stern message to his squad that similar incidents will not be tolerated.
Tyrone May won’t be involved as the scrum-half struggled with the knee injury he picked up against Catalans Dragons last week, while Jai Whitbread has also dropped out.
Oliver Gildart has been deemed fit enough to return for the Robins after sitting out of the last two games, while Jack Charles, Noah Booth and Frankie Dearlove are included by the Robins boss.
Hull KR 21-man squad to face Toulouse : Arthur Mourgue, Tom Davies, Peta Hiku, Oliver Gildart, Joe Burgess, Sauaso Sue, Jez Litten, Tom Amone, Dean Hadley, James Batchelor, Elliot Minchella, Jack Broadbent, Sam Luckley, Rhyse Martin, Karl Lawton, Noah Booth, Bill Leyland, Jack Charles, Louix Gorman, Frankie Dearlove, Ryan Hampshire.
