Widnes Vikings make four alterations with Hep Cahill, Chris Clarkson, Danny Craven and Jack Owens coming in.
Head coach Chris Chester has named his 19-man squad for Sunday’s Super 8s Qualifier against Widnes Vikings at the Select Security Stadium.
One week before a Ladbrokes Challenge Cup Final at Wembley, the Robins boss has made six changes to his squad with Graeme Horne, Kevin Larroyer, Shaun Lunt, Tyrone McCarthy, Tony Puletua and Adam Walker not risked this weekend.
Drafted in their place are first team regulars John Boudebza, who has now recovered from a recent knee injury, Jordan Cox, Aaron Ollett and Dane Tilse, whilst half back Matty Marsh is in line for just his second first team appearance after a brief cameo from the bench earlier this season.
The final place in the squad goes to promising back rower George Lawler. The loose forward has been called up from the club’s under-19s and will make his club debut if selected by Chester.
Widnes: Brown, Cahill, Clarkson, Craven, Dean, Dudson, Flynn, Galea, Gerrard, Hanbury, Heremaia, Manuokafoa, Marsh, Mellor, Owens, Runciman, Tickle, White, Whitley.
Hull KR: Allgood, Blair, Boudebza, Burke, Chisholm, Cockayne, Dixon, Donaldson, Green, Greenwood, Lawler, Mantellato, Marsh, Ollett, Salter, Sio, Tilse, Welham, Aldous.
