Willie Peters names squad following injury and suspension issues

Picture by Allan McKenzie/SWpix.com - 18/02/2023 - Rugby League - Betfred Super League Round 1 - Hull KR v Wigan Warriors - Sewell Group Craven Park, Hull, England - Dean hadley, Lachlan Coote & Ethan Ryan leave the field after victory over Wigan.

Hull KR host Warrington Wolves on Friday night as they aim to bounce back from their defeat to Leigh, but Willie Peters has had to reshuffle his squad.

Injuries to star man Jordan Abdull, who currently leads the Man of Steel leaderboard, and Kane Linnett mean that they both miss out.

The shock suspension of captain Shaun Kenny-Dowall following his guilty plea to a Grade E charge means that the Wire matchup is the first of four games that he will miss.

Another omission that’s as yet unclear as to why is winger Ethan Ryan who will be a big miss having formed a strong defensive right hand edge alongside new signing Tom Opacic.

The four players that replace the aforementioned are the returning full-back Lachlan Coote who missed the previous two fixtures, whilst Matty Storton also returns having missing the same pair of fixtures.

Jimmy Keinhorst and Louis Senior receive call-ups to Peters’ side with one of them, if not both, presumably set to fill the boots of Ryan or Kenny-Dowall.
