MATCHDAY PREVIEW
Hull KR have the chance to keep their lead at the top of the league when they visit the Headingley Stadium on Friday.
The Robins are without Tom Davies and Joe Burgess after they both got hurt in last week’s Derby win. They are replaced by Lee Kershaw and Bill Leyland respectively. Zach Fishwick also comes into the squad for Harvey Horne.
Brad Arthur has made one change as Mikolaj Oledski comes back in from his one-match ban and replaces Jack Smith in the 21-man squad.
Willie Peters commented on Leyland’s involvement in the squad saying they ‘can’t expect too much from him’ coming back from an injury.
Peters told the media: “The thing about Bill is that he’s come back from an ACL and only played a handful of games so we can’t expect too much from him, This year was always about developing him, growing his game and getting him ready. We’ve got Micky Mac for a year, so he’s been mentoring Bill a little bit.
The Hull KR coach continued: “The best of Bill Leyland is going to be in the next couple of years because he’s only just come back from his ACL. Certainly, when Bill gets his opportunity, I know what he’s capable of – but he’s not going to be judged on that game when he does play Super League. It’s going to take a bit of time.”
Hull KR will keep their lead at the top of the league with a convincing win against the Rhinos according to my prediction.
