Hull KR and Salford Red Devils face off in the second game of Super League Magic Weekend and the team news for both sides has now been confirmed.
The main question revolved around Willie Peters’ selections on the wing with both starting wingers Tom Davies (shoulder) and Joe Burgess (HIA) out for a second week in a row.
Peters had opted to utilise Jack Broadbent on one wing last week whilst centre Peta Hiku made the shift out wider, though second-rower James Batchelor ended up finishing the game there and scored a crucial try in the comeback win.
For Salford, they lose loanee winger Jake Thewlis with parent club Warrington Wolves recalling the youngster meaning Paul Rowley has a decision to make there.
He will also hope that co-captain Ryan Brierley is back available after missing out last week against Leigh Leopards due to an ear infection. Both coaches have now confirmed their matchday squads.
Hull KR team news
Willie Peters has backed youngster Noah Booth with a Super League debut. The Robins had recalled Booth from his season long loan with Hunslet and he nows gets his chance on the wing as Peta Hiku shifts back into the centres.
That sees James Batchelor return to the pack but Jared Waerea-Hargreaves is omitted meaning Jai Whitbread gets the start. That sees Eribe Doro promoted to the bench as Willie Peters makes just two key changes.
Geordie lad Sam Luckley will be hoping to score off the bench at his beloved St James Park.
Hull KR XIII: Arthur Mourgue, Noah Booth, Peta Hiku, Oliver Gildart, Jack Broadbent, Mikey Lewis, Tyrone May, Sauaso Sue, Jez Litten, Jai Whitbread, Dean Hadley, James Batchelor, Elliot Minchella
Hull KR interchanges: Sam Luckley, Jack Brown, Eribe Doro, Bill Leyland
