Hull KR missed out on the play-offs in 2022 partly due to the late season resurgence of Rohan Smith’s Leeds Rhinos who went over and beat the Robins at Craven Park towards the end of last season completing a double over them and propelling them on the road to Old Trafford.
Leeds legend Danny McGuire was in charge that day after Tony Smith’s departure but now Willie Peters is leading the Robins and can test his side against last year’s beaten Grand Finalists today.
Here’s everything you need to know about the game:
Kick-off time:
The game kicks off at 15:00 at Craven Park. The game, unlike Leeds’ last outing, will not feature on the OurLeague app.
