Hull KR Poised To Seal League Leaders' Shield With Result Against Warrington

Willie Peters says a full-strength selection against Warrington preserves momentum before a 16-day reset for the semi-finals.

Overview

  • Rovers lead Wigan by two points and will take top spot by avoiding defeat on Thursday, with a Warrington win leaving Wigan needing a big victory to overturn a 41-point deficit on Friday.
  • Peters plans to field his strongest available side, drawing on lessons from the Challenge Cup run and trusting the scheduled break to restore freshness.
  • Joe Burgess is out with a minor calf strain and is expected to be fit for the play-offs, while Kelepi Tanginoa is available and Sauaso Sue is slated to return.
  • Rhyse Martin is back from a two-match ban as the 21-man squad is named, with Oliver Gildart retained and Noah Booth included after recent outings.
  • Despite two defeats in five and questions over workload after using 26 players, Peters rejects energy concerns as Hull KR chase a league title to add to their Challenge Cup and keep a potential treble alive.
