BIG CHANGES TO 19-MAN SQUAD FOR CUP CLASH

Head coach Tim Sheens has been forced to ring the changes to his 19-man squad to face Wigan Warriors in the Ladbrokes Challenge Cup at KCOM Craven Park on Sunday (3pm).

Rovers go into the game with 13 first team players unavailable through injury, whilst Kieren Moss is cup-tied having featured for partner club York earlier in the season, whilst loanee Aaron Smith is also unable to play in the competition.

That means that youngsters Owen Harrison and Elliot Wallis come into the 19 and could be in line to make their first team debuts, whilst James Donaldson, Matty Marsh and Joe Cator have also been recalled.

Tickets for the game are on sale at the Rovers Retail store and online at www.hullkr.co.uk/tickets

The 19-man squad in full is:

1/ Adam Quinlan
2/ Junior Vaivai
5/ Ryan Shaw
10/ Mose Masoe
11/ Maurice Blair
12/ James Greenwood
15/ James Donaldson
19/ Tommy Lee
20/ Matty Marsh
21/ Robbie Mulhern
22/ Liam Salter
23/ Josh Johnson
24/ Chris Atkin
28/ Will Dagger
29/ Jordan Walne
30/ Joe Cator
34/ Danny Tickle
35/ Owen Harrison
37/ Elliot Wallis

Didn't he get a knee/boot to the head last week? Is he injured or dropped?

Failed his concussion test?

I know this is a must win game but HKR have a lot of injuries so I hope Waney gives Josh Woods another run. We will probably need him to play in a big game at some point in the season so he needs as much first team experience as he can get. I', sure Morgan will have failed his 'head test' (do we assume that Sam P passed his?), he looked very shaky when he came off against Salford.

Its about time the aussie lad got a run out for us.... he wont be picked next week thats for sure....... hope escares not dropped coz he defo adds something to our team

Why should Hamlin get a gig? Who should we drop?

Escare badly needs to improve his defence, he is not a half back he's a full back so that would mean leaving Sam out!

I wonder if the inclusion of Woods is insurance against Powell?

Nothing wrong with leaving Sam Powell out.
