THE TEAM NEWS
HULL KR
- Hull KR were the surprise package of last year’s Super League campaign but face a tough challenge to repeat that effort having made it to the semi-finals of the play-offs before falling to Catalans Dragons.
- Rovers earned plaudits for their playing style last season and will hope the eye-catching addition of fullback Lachlan Coote from champions St. Helens can prove to be the signing they need to take them to the next level.
21-man squad: 1 Lachlan Coote, 3 Brad Takairangi, 4 Shaun Kenny-Dowall, 5 Ryan Hall, 7 Jordan Abdull, 8 Albert Vete, 9 Matt Parcell, 10 George King, 11 Dean Hadley, 12 Kane Linnett, 13 Matty Storton, 14 Jez Litten, 16 Korbin Sims, 18 Jimmy Keinhorst, 19 Will Dagger, 20 Mikey Lewis, 21 Rowan Milnes, 24 Sam Wood, 25 Greg Richards, 26 Tom Garratt, 27 Frankie Halton
Unavailable: Ben Crooks, Will Maher, Luis Johnson, Elliot Minchella

WIGAN WARRIORS
- Wigan Warriors endured a poor season last year and their campaign was summed up with a shambolic showing in the play-offs as they were eliminated by Leeds Rhinos without scoring a single point.
- The Warriors were lacklustre with the ball all year which ultimately cost head coach Adrian Lam his job with Matty Peet handed the reins to take the side forward and he will hope the addition of Cade Cust from Manly Sea Eagles can be the catalyst they need to see them competing for silverware in 2022.
21-man squad: 2 Jake Bibby, 3 Zak Hardaker, 4 Iain Thornley, 5 Liam Marshall, 6 Cade Cust, 7 Thomas Leuluai, 8 Brad Singleton, 9 Sam Powell, 10 Patrick Mago, 11 Willie Isa, 12 Liam Farrell, 13 John Bateman, 14 Morgan Smithies, 15 Kaide Ellis, 16 Harry Smith, 17 Oliver Partington, 20 Liam Byrne, 21 Kai Pearce-Paul, 22 Joe Shorrocks, 23 Jai Field, 24 Abbas Miski

THE PREDICTION
Hull KR will be looking to build on their efforts of last year and they can lay down a marker for the year as they host Wigan Warriors in their opening encounter of the season. There is plenty of reason for Rovers to believe they can make another play-off challenge this year while the Warriors will hope for much better than they managed last time around, especially with ball-in-hand after underwhelming in that department. Matty Peet will give Wigan a new impetus and with a stronger pack at his disposal, the Warriors can ensure their new head coach gets off to a winning start.
