Hull KR and Leeds have both announced their 21-man squads for Thursday afternoon’s Super League fixture at the Halliwell Jones Stadium (KO 2:45pm).
The two sides met last week in the Challenge Cup, with the Rhinos coming away 48-18 winners.
Prior to that, Rovers were in an impressive vein of form, claiming a shock win over then-league leaders Wigan, before coming close to beating champions St Helens.
Leeds, meanwhile, have won three from five since the restart and currently sit fourth in the table.
Hull Kingston Rovers
There’s two big changes for Tony Smith’s side, with Jimmy Keinhorst and Will Tate called into the 21. Keinhorst was recently recalled by KR after spending this season on loan at York, while young outside back Tate has been training with the first team squad for several weeks. Ryan Brierley also returns to the side, with injured trio Ethan Ryan, Matty Storton and Will Dagger among those dropping out.
21-man squad: 3 Shaun Kenny-Dowall, 4 Kane Linnett, 8 Rob Mulhern, 9 Matt Parcell, 12 Harvey Livett, 14 Mitch Garbutt, 16 Dan Murray, 17 Kyle Trout, 18 Jez Litten, 20 Mikey Lewis, 21 Owen Harrison, 22 Nick Rawsthorne, 24 Joe Keyes, 25 Matty Gee, 26 Will Maher, 27 Elliot Minchella, 30 Jamie Ellis, 31 Ryan Brierley, 32 Nathaniel Peteru, Jimmy Keinhorst, Will Tate.
