King produced an uncharacteristic off-day against Castleford but has carried the Rovers pack for several weeks over a busy period, which is starting to take its toll on the Irish international. Storton was KR's best middle on the day with 129 metres to his name, but once again, the interchange bench failed to make an impact when needed. Korbin Sims only racked up 58 metres during his stints on the pitch, with Will Maher and Greg Richards all hitting below the 60 metre mark with their efforts with the ball. Tony Smith is set to welcome back Elliot Minchella and Frankie Halton this week, which will be a significant boost for the Robins pack ahead of a formidable Catalans middle.

The Robins missed an astonishing 79 tackles against Castleford, giving the Tigers an easy passage throughout the game.
