Willie Peters Hull KR

Hull KR boss Willie Peters has named two trialists in his 20-man squad to take on York Knights in Amsterdam this weekend. The Robins will face off against York this Saturday in their only pre-season friendly before the start of the new Super League season, with the game being played at the NRCA Stadium in the Dutch city.

However, Peters will take a young group with him to the Netherlands, with trialists Luke Phoenix and Aaron Powell being given the chance to earn permanent deals with the Robins. Phoenix, an England Universities representative, featured for the Robins’ reserves last season and will hope to impress if given the opportunity.

Powell has also featured for England Universities, having spent the last few years studying mathematics at the University of Warwick. He captained his university side, while also skippering the national outfit for the 2024 campaign and he has also been on trial with the club since last year, playing in the second string.

They feature alongside a handful of first-teamers, with Jack Broadbent, Kelepi Tanginoa and Jack Brown among those travelling. New signings Lee Kershaw, Eribe Doro, Bill Leyland and Leon Ruan will also be involved, alongside Danny Richardson, who has joined the club permanently from Castleford Tigers for the 2025 season.

Phoenix Laulu-Togaga’e is involved ahead of his loan move back to Oldham, while academy player Freddie Watts has been given the opportunity to show what he can do in the first-team, too.

Hull KR travelling squad to face York Knights on Saturday January 25: Jack Broadbent, Danny Richardson, Kelepi Tanginoa, Jack Brown, Phoenix Laulu-Togaga’e, Lee Kershaw, Eribe Doro, Bill Leyland, AJ Wallace, Leon Ruan, Zach Fishwick, Louix Gorman, Leo Tennison, Lennie Ellis, Connor Barley, Harvey Horne, Neil Tchamambe, Luke Phoenix (trialist), Aaron Powell (trialist), Freddie Watts.
