It’s a top of the table clash tonight as first placed Warrington host third placed Hull KR, with the winner set to either extend their league lead or claim the league lead.
That’s a testament to the work that Willie Peters has done at Craven Park this year that should the Robins win by a wide enough margin, and Wigan fail to beat Leeds, then they will top the table and continue their best ever start to Super League.
Whilst all those factors are unlikely they will head into this game believing they can beat anyone and Peters has dismissed the idea of looking at the league table currently.
Two players who have been confirmed that will miss out in their efforts to avenge their round four defeat to the Wolves are Lachlan Coote and Jordan Abdull, meaning the Robins will have a disrupted spine for the second week in a row.
Coote has been confirmed out for a month whilst Abdull will miss five to six weeks and making matters worse, Abdull’s replacement is also injured in the shape of Rowan Milnes who misses out with a broken hand.
This has left the Robins naming hooker Jez Litten in the halves alongside Mikey Lewis with out going winger Ethan Ryan at fullback.
Sam Wood, another player set to leave, named on the bench.
