Hull KR v St Helens team news as Saints star returns and Peters makes rotation calls

Hull KR host St Helens at Craven Park on Friday night and the teams are in, with all eyes on whether Willie Peters has rested any stars.

The Robins will travel to Wembley next weekend to take on Warrington Wolves and recent weeks have seen suggestions that Hull KR could rest players.

Sauaso Sue and Peta Hiku were given rests for the clash against Huddersfield Giants but no such rests were handed out when the Robins played Warrington last weekend.

In their final game before Wembley, Peters has spoken about the need for momentum as opposed to rotation but did concede that Eribe Doro would be handed a chance.

As for St Helens, they’re coming off the back of two huge wins but they’ll need to break their torrid record against the big teams if they’re to beat Hull KR. Saints have lost their last fifteen against Wigan, Hull KR, Warrington and Leigh, the teams who made up the top four in 2024.

Jared Waerea-Hargreaves misses out once again as he serves the second game of his suspension but Willie Peters makes just one change to his squad.

Lee Kershaw, who was sent for scans after a training injury, drops out with AJ Wallace replacing him. That means Dean Hadley is named to the squad.

Long-term injured trio of Oliver Gildart, Rhyse Martin and Micky McIlorum remain unavailable.

St Helens team news

Mark Percival left the field against Huddersfield Giants but Paul Wellens confirmed that it was just ‘tightness’ and the centre is named to face Hull KR.

Matt Whitley missed out last week on account of a HIA but he returns with Harry Robertson another huge boost. They replace Jon Bennison and Jake Davies.

Robertson’s return could impact Deon Cross and Tristan Sailor who have played in the centre and wing roles of late.

St Helens 21-man squad: Jack Welsby, Mark Percival, Tristan Sailor, Jonny Lomax, Alex Walmsley, Daryl Clark, Matty Lees, Curtis Sironen, Morgan Knowles, Moses Mbye, Matt Whitley, Agnatius Paasi, Jake Wingfield, George Delaney, Lewis Murphy, Noah Stephens, Harry Robertson, George Whitby, Owen Dagnall, Deon Cross
