Hull KR team news as Tony Smith makes two changes to face Castleford Tigers

Tony Smith has made two changes to his squad to face Castleford Tigers this evening in the Challenge Cup quarter-finals.

Jordan Abdull returns to the side, but he’ll come off the bench this evening with Smith opting to stick with a half-back partnership of Mikey Lewis and Rowan Milnes after an impressive showing last week against Warrington Wolves.

Will Maher starts at prop forward, while Greg Richards comes onto the bench.

Despite being named in the squad there’s no Dean Hadley who continues to struggle with a calf injury, while Tom Garratt drops out of the side with a head knock.

There’s no room for Korbin Sims, either.
