Hull KR vs Leeds Rhinos: Team news, injuries and TV channel as Mikolaj Oledzki and James Bentley set for return

HULL KR take on Leeds Rhinos this Friday night at Craven Park, with the game being broadcast live on Sky Sports.

Willie Peters’ side curbed their losing run last week with an emphatic victory over Wakefield Trinity with the likes of Tom Opacic and Mikey Lewis enjoying themselves.

Leeds, meanwhile, were also buoyant after a brilliant comeback win over the Catalans Dragons. The Rhinos registered 24 unanswered second-half points to come back from 22-8 down and win 32-22.

Team news and injuries

KR will be without Tom Opacic but Ryan Hall could play despite suffering an injury in the same win over Wakefield. However, Jordan Abdull, Frankie Halton and Dean Hadley could be back after they sat out last week’s game due to concussion protocol.

Leeds didn’t suffer on the injury front against Catalans last week, whilst Harry Newman will also be ok to play after he was just fined by the Disciplinary Match Review Panel for dissent. Mikolaj Oledzki could be back from injury after missing the entirety of the 2023 season so far. James Bentley also returns from his one-match ban
