Matt Parcell has been recalled to the Hull KR squad for Saturday’s important encounter with Catalans Dragons. The hooker was absent from the extended squad that was named to take on Castleford Tigers last time out, having suffered a shoulder injury in the win over Huddersfield Giants.
But he is in contention to be recalled this week in what is Willie Peters’ only change to the 21-man squad. He replaces Louix Gorman, who was one of the four players left out of the matchday squad last time out.
Jai Whitbread also features, having been ruled out of the Cas victory due to a groin complaint. He is expected to feature against the Dragons having nailed down a starting spot in Willie Peters’ team throughout the season. Jack Brown was given a starting berth in Whitbread’s absence at the Jungle.
Peters has more alternatives in the backfield and forwards with Zach Fishwick and Joe Burgess, who were not included in the squad last week. Included are the three England representatives for the club, Mikey Lewis, Elliot Minchella, and Jez Litten.
Hull KR’s 21-man squad to face Catalans Dragons : Peta Hiku, Niall Evalds, Tom Opacic, Ryan Hall, Mikey Lewis, Sauaso Sue, Jez Litten, George King, Dean Hadley, Elliot Minchella, Matt Parcell, Sam Luckley, Jai Whitbread, Matty Storton, Kelepi Tangnoa, Tyrone May, Zach Fishwick, Joe Burgess, Jack Broadbent, Jack Brown, Danny Richardson.
