HULL KR host bitter rivals Hull FC on Sunday afternoon at Craven Park, live on Sky Sports.
Rovers go into this one on the back of a disappointing 34-4 defeat away at Leigh Leopards last weekend – a result which left Willie Peters’ men down in seventh.
The Black and Whites, meanwhile, went down 28-18 at home to runaway leaders Catalans Dragons.
Team news and injuries
Rovers are set to be without Elliot Minchella for two to six weeks, compounding the club’s injury crisis, but Ethan Ryan could return following his broken jaw. Tanguy Zenon and Fouad Yaha have both returned to parent club Catalans. Lennie Ellis is included for the first time and could make his debut with Jack Walker potentially returning against his former side.
Hull have a relatively clean bill of health, with Adam Swift, Tex Hoy and Liam Sutcliffe all named by Tony Smith in the 21-man squad.
