THE TEAM NEWS

HULL KR

  • Hull KR were able to capitalise on an error-strewn performance from Salford Red Devils which saw Rovers make it two wins from two to begin the campaign.
  • A third win in succession would be a best-ever start to a Super League season for the Robins and with Lachlan Coote and Rhys Kennedy returning to the 21-man squad, confidence will be high of achieving that feat.

21-man squad: Coote, Ryan, Opacic, Kenny-Dowall, Hall, Abdull, Sue, Parcell, King, Halton, Linnett, Minchella, Litten, Kennedy, Batchelor, Dagger, Lewis, Milnes, Wood, Johnson, Luckley

Unavailable: Ryan Hall (Injured), Matty Storton (Injured)

Questionable: Lachlan Coote, Rhys Kennedy

LEIGH LEOPARDS

  • Leigh Leopards were far from disgraced as they were defeated in a low-scoring affair in the south of France against Catalans Dragons last week but with each game that goes by, the pressure to win their maiden game will increase.
  • Leigh struggled with ball in hand once again and that could be a theme of their season but the return of Edwin Ipape and potentially Joe Mellor could help their attacking prowess while Joe Shorrocks may debut after joining on a two-week loan from Wigan Warriors.

21-man squad: Hardaker, Briscoe, Chamberlain, Leutele, Charnley, Mellor, Lam, Amone, Ipape, Mulhern, Wardle, Hughes, Asiata, Nakubuwai, Reynolds, O’Brien, Davis, Gannon, O’Donnell, Seumanufagai, Shorrocks

Unavailable:

Questionable: Edwin Ipape, Joe Mellor

THE PREDICTION

Hull KR have made an impressive start to the season and few would back against them making it three wins from three as they host Leigh Leopards. The away side are yet to get off the mark and have struggled to score points in their opening two games and that will be a worry ahead of this trip to Craven Park. The Robins looked solid on both sides of the ball in a deserved win over Salford Red Devils last week and the hosts have to be fancied to record another success in this contest.
