Hull KR will go up against the Wigan Warriors on Saturday afternoon in Channel 4’s first live Super League game of 2023.
Whilst the Warriors have Matt Peet at the helm following a superb 2022, Rovers will have a new man in the dugout in the shape of Willie Peters.
Hull KR could have as many as six debuts in their rematch against the Warriors with NRL imports, Tom Opacic, Sauaso Sue and Rhys Kennedy named alongside the Robins’ Super League signings, Sam Luckley, Louis Senior and James Batchelor.
The Robins’ halfback, Jordan Abdull will look to make his first Super League start since last April after suffering a quad injury late in the side’s Challenge Cup Semi-final defeat to Huddersfield and missing the rest of 2022.
New additions Toby King and Jake Wardle are in line to make their Super League debut for Wigan, with a fully fit squad at Matt Peet’s disposal, with the exceptions of Ryan Hampshire and Iain Thornley who are injured.
