Two of the top teams in Super League so far this season collide on Thursday night.
In a repeat of their Round One clash when Hull KR laid down a real marker by beating the fancied Wigan Warriors, the Robins and the Challenge Cup holders meet for the second time this season as the two jostle for position in the pursuit of Super League glory in 2023.
The Warriors have been fancied since before a ball was kicked to dethrone St Helens but Hull KR have emerged as the dark horses in 2023 so this week’s clash will be an interesting test of both side’s title credentials.
Now the team news is in for the fixture.
Matt Peet has made two changes to his 21-player squad as injured duo Kai Pearce-Paul and Ethan Havard drop out of the squad in place of Tom Forber and Harvey Makin.
It is the second time Wigan have made the trip to Hull KR this season.
On their two trips to Hull so far this year they have been beaten.
