It’s easy to forget that there is Super League action available to watch tonight given that it is a Tuesday, but a brilliant top six clash between Hull KR and Warrington Wolves will take place.
The two sides are actually playing their round two fixture, albeit it’s sandwiched between round 23 and round 24, with both these teams in action last Thursday to allow for this match to be crammed into the schedule.
Hull KR played Brisbane Broncos in the World Club Challenge in round two meaning this Super League game against Warrington Wolves was postponed, with the intention being that it would be rearranged once both sides were knocked out of the Challenge Cup.
KR and Wire then faced off in the semi-final, thus ensuring that one of them would make the final, meaning that no such free weekend presented itself and that’s led to this rare Tuesday night game with both clubs playing three games in just 10 or 11 days.
There’s plenty on the line as well as Hull KR, who sit fifth, can leapfrog Warrington and move third with a win, though Warrington can also move within two points of second. It’s a must-see game and thankfully, it’s being broadcast.
Where, when and how to watch Hull KR versus Warrington Wolves
Super League’s main broadcasters Sky Sports have picked the game up, so if you’re subscribed to them for your regular action then you’ll be able to watch this one.
Sky typically take two games per week as exclusive picks, meaning that the game gets full pre-match and post-match analysis, and this will be one of their exclusive picks.
That’s because just a few weeks ago, Sky sacrificed an exclusive game to ensure that they could pick up this enthralling match and as a result, it will be broadcast on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Action.
Coverage will start at 7:30 with half an hour of build-up expected to be led by Brian Carney as well as an array of pundits, before the game kicks off at 8:00 pm.
Hull KR will welcome back Mikey Lewis after he has served his four-match ban, a suspension he picked up in the recent loss to Warrington, whilst Warrington have got captain George Williams back in the frame.
Hull KR 21-man squad: Arthur Mourgue, Tom Davies, Peta Hiku, Joe Burgess, Mikey Lewis, Tyrone May, Sauaso Sue, Jez Litten, Tom Amone, Dean Hadley, James Batchelor, Elliot Minchella, Jack Broadbent, Sam Luckley, Jai Whitbread, Rhyse Martin, Karl Lawton, Bill Leyland, Louix Gorman, Ryan Hampshire, Tevita Pangai Jr
