Hull KR v York Knights preview and 21-man squads

HULL KR head coach Willie Peters has been forced into one change from the side that went down to Wakefield Trinity last Saturday.

Sauaso Sue will miss out this week due to receiving a one-match suspension, but Dean Hadley will come back in after missing last week’s match due to HIA protocols.

Meanwhile, York Knights head coach Mark Applegarth has made just one change also, with Danny Richardson dropping out.

That means Applegarth has named just a 20-man squad.
