Hull KR team news as Tony Smith welcomes back key man for trip to Castleford

Tony Smith has named his 21-man squad ahead of this Sunday's clash against Castleford Tigers, with several changes being made to the side who were defeated last time out against Huddersfield.

The Robins are boosted by the return of star man Lachlan Coote, but are missing key players Jordan Abdull and Kane Linnett, who are both set for lengthy periods on the sidelines.

Albert Vete is still unavailable due to serving his final game of suspension he picked up in the defeat to Leeds Rhinos.

Utility forward Frankie Halton also returns to the squad after sitting out the last four games with a sprained ankle that he sustained in last months Hull derby victory.

Rovers are looking to put a disastrous fortnight behind them as they travel across to The Mend-A-Hose Jungle to take on a Castleford side they have already beaten twice so far in 2022 but will be up against it on Sunday, as injuries will force coach Smith to pick some new combinations in crucial positions
