Get ready for an exciting rugby league showdown as Willie Peters delivers on his promise to field a formidable Hull KR squad!
A Promise Kept
Peters, the mastermind behind Hull KR's strategy, has selected a powerful 21-man team for their upcoming Challenge Cup third-round clash against Lock Lane. This is no ordinary game; it marks the beginning of a new competitive season and the defense of their cup title at Craven Park. And here's where it gets intriguing: Peters had vowed to bring his A-game against the National Conference League side, and he's delivering on that promise.
A Diverse Squad
The squad includes an impressive mix of experienced players and fresh talent. NRL recruit Karl Lawton, a versatile forward, joins the team after an intense pre-season training period with the North Queensland Cowboys. He's accompanied by fellow newcomers Jordan Dezaria, Jack Charles, Tom Whitehead, and Declan Murphy, each bringing their unique skills to the field.
Rovers' skipper Elliot Minchella leads the charge alongside key players like Arthur Mourgue, Dean Hadley, James Batchelor, and Tom Davies. The squad also features some exciting young talent, including Noah Booth, Louix Gorman, and Harvey Horne, who are sure to bring an extra spark to the game.
Notable Absences
However, not all players will be taking part. Mikey Lewis, Joe Burgess, and Jez Litten, as well as Kiwi center Peta Hiku, are absent from the lineup. Peters had previously confirmed that the England players wouldn't feature, and the same goes for Hiku, who is still recovering from a broken hand sustained during pre-season training. But don't worry, Tom Amone is expected to be fit in time for the highly anticipated World Club Challenge game against Brisbane Broncos later this month.

Here's the complete 21-man Hull KR squad for the upcoming match:
