Arthur Mourgue makes his Hull KR debut today, but the Robins are without Joe Burgess. The Frenchman has been named at fullback for Rovers' game against Huddersfield Giants, his first appearance since making the move from Catalans Dragons earlier this month.
But Burgess has not been selected after sustaining an unspecified knock. That has seen Jack Broadbent, recently described by Willie Peters as Hull KR's 'Mr Fix It', move from fullback to wing. Burgess had made a successful return to action last week, having missed the Challenge Cup win over Oldham due to a hip issue.
It will be a first glimpse into how Mourgue slots into the spine. Niall Evalds started as first-choice fullback but has now joined today's opponents. He misses out on the game after breaking his foot on debut last week.
The rest of the team is unchanged from last week's impressive 30-0 victory over Leigh Leopards, with Peters opting not to make any tweaks to his side in terms of starters and subs.
Sauaso Sue and Jared Waerea-Hargreaves continue as starting props with Dean Hadley operating in the back-row from the beginning before likely being rotated later in the game.
On the bench, Jez Litten will look to continue his impressive start to the season from the bench and there's size elsewhere, with Sam Luckley, Jai Whitbread and Kelepi Tanginos all to be called upon. Jack Brown is 18th man.
Hull KR team to face Huddersfield Giants : Arthur Mourgue, Tom Davies, Peta Hiku, Oliver Gildart, Jack Broadbent, Mikey Lewis, Tyrone May, Sauaso Sue, Micky McIlorum, Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, Dean Hadley, James Batchelor, Elliot Minchella. Subs: Jez Litten, Sam Luckley, Jai Whitbread, Kelepi Tanginoa.
