The line-ups are in for tonight’s Super League fixtures, with Hull KR and Hull FC both hosting matches.
KR take on Leigh Leopards in a big game in the play-off race, whilst FC welcome Wakefield Trinity to the MKM Stadium in a quest for back-to-back wins.
A win for the Robins would put keep them in third, but would put them two points clear of Wigan, who play tomorrow, St Helens, who play Sunday and Wakefield – depending on if Wakefield can get the victory on the other side of the city.
A Leopards win would see them become the fifth team to sit on 18 points, and would push Saints out of the play-off spots on points difference.
The 17’s are in from all four sides, so here is all the latest team news as we sit less than 90 minutes away from kick-off.
