Jordan Abdull could return for Hull Kingston Rovers for their crucial game against Castleford Tigers on Saturday night at Hull College Craven Park.
Rovers coach Tony Smith has selected Abdull in his 21-man squad for a clash that will have a crucial bearing on the battle for the play-offs, although he hasn’t yet confirmed whether he will make the cut for the 17-man matchday squad. For the Tigers, Danny Richardson looks set to return at halfback.
Other significant returnees in Round 24 include Elijah Taylor and Jack Ormondroyd for Salford Red Devils against Warrington Wolves, Benjamin Jullien for Catalans Dragons against Huddersfield Giants, Jermaine McGillvary for the Giants, Jamie Ellis for Leigh Centurions against Wakefield Trinity and Tinirau Arona for Trinity.
