Hull KR vs Wakefield Trinity predicted line-ups as off-season recruit set for injury return

Top of the table Hull KR will be hoping to avoid the same feat as fellow title contenders Wigan Warriors suffered last week, as they face Wakefield Trinity on Friday night. 

The Rovers charged their way to a 48-0 victory over Castleford Tigers last week, and a win over Trinity on Friday would see them break a club record for the best start to a Super League season. 

For Daryl Powell’s Wakefield, they saw out a brilliant win over the reigning champions and will need to be on top form once again if they are to be victorious. 

How Hull KR could line up: 

Willie Peters has been able to include Rhyse Martin for the first time since February. However, in his weekly press conference, the Rovers boss could not confirm whether he would be fit enough to start. 

James Batchelor picked up a throat injury last time out, whilst Joe Burgess returns to the initial squad.  

Peters said that Burgess is in contention, and if he is fit he will play. However, should the 30-year-old not be ready in time, KR have youngster Noah Booth raring to go after a two-try performance against the Tigers. 

Hull KR: 35. Arthur Mourgue; 2. Tom Davies, 3. Peta Hiku, 18. Jack Broadbent, 5. Joe Burgess; 6. Mikey Lewis, 7. Tyrone May; 8. Sauaso Sue, 9. Jez Litten, 11. Dean Hadley; 16. Jai Whitbread, 20. Kelepi Tanginoa; 13. Elliot Minchella.

Subs: 15. Sam Luckley, 17. Rhyse Martin, 21. Jack Brown, 25. Bill Leyland. 

How Wakefield Trinity could line up: 

Mike McMeeken drops out of the initial 21 after missing last week’s win with a pec injury. Mathieu Cozza picked up an ankle injury in the victory, whilst Matty Russell is also left out of the squad. 

They are all replaced by Thomas Doyle, Noah High and Ellis Lingard. 

Wakefield Trinity: 1. Max Jowitt; 2. Lachlan Walmsley, 4. Corey Hall, 19. Oliver Pratt, 5. Tom Johnstone; 6. Jake Trueman, 20. Mason Lino; 18. Isaiah Vagana, 9. Liam Hood, 31. Caius Faatili; 11. Seth Nikotemo, 12. Josh Griffin; 13. Jay Pitts.

Subs: 3. Cam Scott, 14. Thomas Doyle, 25. Jack Croft, 35. Ellis Lingard.
