A MUCH-CHANGED Hull KR could hand out as many as six debuts against Wigan Warriors on Thursday night.

Rovers boss Willie Peters has included the likes of Cobie Wainhouse, Harvey Horne, Ryan Westerman and Flynn Holden, with experienced squad players Tom Davies, Peta Hiku, Joe Burgess, Jez Litten, Dean Hadley, James Batchelor and Elliot Minchella dropping out of the 21-man squad.

Ryan Hampshire, meanwhile, suffered a fractured wrist in the loss to Toulouse Olympique last week with the Robins having to play three games in nine days.

It’s a lot more straightforward for Wigan head coach Matt Peet, who has brought Sam Walters back into the squad from suspension. He replaces Finlay Yeomans.

It is likely to be a poignant evening at the Brick Community Stadium, where the clubs will be paying tribute to Rugby League and Wigan icon Sir Billy Boston, who has died aged 92.
