Hull KR and Salford have both announced their 21-man squads for Friday night’s round nine fixture at Hull College Craven Park (KO 7:45pm).
Neither side were in Challenge Cup action last week and so have had two weeks’ preparation for this game.
Rovers will be looking to build on a fairly impressive run of form that has seen them notch victories over Leigh and Castleford in their last three games.
The Red Devils, meanwhile, still have just one league win under their belts in 2021 and have lost their last five in all competitions.
The game will be available to watch live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Arena, with coverage starting from 7:30pm.
Hull Kingston Rovers
There’s just one change for KR as Mikey Lewis returns from a loan stint with York in place of Will Dagger, who has joined Featherstone for a loan spell of his own. There’s still no Ethan Ryan (wrist), Albert Vete (hamstring) or Elliot Minchella (knee) as they continue to recover from injury.
Salford Red Devils
Richard Marshall makes four changes, with Andy Ackers, Pauli Pauli and Josh Johnson all returning, while young centre or back rower Ben Davies is included after joining on loan from St Helens. Kallum Watkins (knee), James Greenwood and Connor Aspey drop out, while Darcy Lussick has joined Featherstone on loan. There’s still no Danny Addy (knee), Kevin Brown (lower limb), Matty Costello (shoulder), Dan Sarginson (suspended) or Krisnan Inu (suspended).
