World News – GB – Live Castleford v Hull KR: Rovers chase rare back-to-back wins

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of Hull KR’s Super League clash with Castleford Tigers at Totally Wicked Stadium

Rovers come off after well-deserved win over Salford Red Devils, while Tigers recover from eighth loss in nine games at Hull FC

This hammering came just four days ago, leaving Daryl Powell little time to sort out his team’s issues

Castleford does not have several key men and this is a great opportunity for a new KR side to end the club’s long wait for back-to-back Super League wins

A victory for the Robins would bring them within easy reach of the Tigers in the table

Jordan Abdull and Rowan Milnes will leave at half-time for Hull KR against Castleford Tigers

The rovers have arrived late at Totally Wicked Stadium due to traffic disruptions, with the kickoff being delayed as the Tigers make their way to the ground

As expected, Will Dagger replaces Mikey Lewis at the back when he returns to the side, the teenager falling to the bench

Shaun Kenny-Dowall returns to crosses to welcome Nick Rawsthorne, while Matt Parcell starts on hooker with Elliot Minchella moving up front

It always seemed like a silly decision to drag four Yorkshire teams through the M62 to one of the coronavirus hotspots, and that was without considering the M62 Same thing next Thursday

Not yet confirmed, but it looks like the kickoff is now half 6 due to traffic congestion. If you think it’s bad, the second game will start at 8.45am! Third time in as many weeks that KR has had a delayed kickoff

Looks like Castleford is stuck in traffic It seems most people are – very quiet here with a kick off at just over an hour away

Hull KR found a way to win last time out against Salford It wasn’t pretty, it wasn’t vintage, but will it ever be after a string of losses?

I’m sure the result being positive was more important than another good pat on the back of everyone type of performance that saw another gallant loss Tony Smith, his staff and the players had to win the game the way it looked and it was a win, narrow but a win

This gives everyone a boost ahead of a few games against struggling teams at Wakefield and Castleford However, the third game to come in the next line is a derby against their closest and dearest Hull FC, a match which, whatever the interrupted season, whatever the league standings, the form and all that we are talking about is a huge match importance in our city

Will Dagger returns in one of three changes to Hull KR’s 21-man squad for Thursday’s game against Castleford Tigers

The 21-year-old has missed the last four games with a knee injury, but is now in great shape and will fall back straight to the back

Dan Murray is back after missing the last three games with a calf problem and compatriot Nathaniel Peteru overcame punches to take his place in the squad
