After one win in seven and travelling over to France with a weakened squad, you could say Hull KR are fighting a battle in itself even before a ball is kicked on Saturday night. Still, Rovers desperately need a win and must ensure the match against Toulouse doesn't turn into one of those fixtures fans will look back on and say that's where the season unravelled.
Lachlan Coote will miss Hull KR's trip to Toulouse Olympique with a foot injury. Rovers have been dealt yet another huge injury blow on the eve of the trip, with their star fullback not making the trip to France for the clash against Super League's basement side.
The old cliche is that when a side is struggling, every game turns into 'the biggest one of the season.' Still, it's hard to argue that Saturday's fixture against bottom side Toulouse Olympique will have the most reproductions if the French outfit defeated Hull KR.
Since Tony Smith took over the head coach role midway through 2019, Hull KR have adopted a travel plan of flying there and back when facing French opposition. With Covid being around for the majority of Smith's time at the club, the method continued into the early stages of this year.
Hull KR coach Tony Smith has been forced to name just 20 players in his squad ahead of Saturday's showdown in the South of France as Rovers take on Toulouse Olympique at the Stade Ernest Wallon.
Hull KR coach Tony Smith expects his side's second trip to Toulouse Olympique this season to be similar to the one Rovers experienced on Easter Monday as he prepares for a tough test in difficult conditions. A brace from Ryan Hall and tries from George King, Jordan Abdull and Matty Storton were enough to see off the tenacious French side as Rovers narrowly pipped Olympique 24-28 at the Stade Ernest Wallon.
Hull KR Head Coach Tony Smith believes having two French teams in the Super League is good for the French game, and a nice change from the M62 belt.
The game was over when George King and Ryan Hall both left the field. I tweeted with 12 minutes gone when Hull KR were four points up that they would lose. It was a tweet that could have aged badly but didn't.
