Team news: Huddersfield v Hull KR (Fri)

Drew Darbyshire

Michael Lawrence is set to return for Huddersfield on Friday, while Hull KR will welcome back Mitch Garbutt.

Huddersfield coach Simon Woolford has only named an 18-man squad this week due to the club’s injury list. Lawrence and Jake Wardle come back into the side, but Matt Frawley, Alex Mellor and Oliver Roberts drop out of the squad.

Tim Sheens has made three changes to his Hull KR outfit that beat Salford in the Challenge Cup last time out. Garbutt, Antoni Maria and Will Oakes replace Owen Harrison, Shaun Lunt and Will Dagger.

The Super League match takes place at the John Smith’s Stadium on Friday, 7:45pm kick-off.

Drew’s dabble: Hull KR are priced at 7/2 to win the game by 1-10 points.

Huddersfield’s 18-man squad: Darnell McIntosh, Jermaine McGillvary, Jordan Turner, Lee Gaskell, Paul Clough, Kruise Leeming, Suaia Matagi, Aaron Murphy, Michael Lawrence, Adam O’Brien, Ukuma Ta’ai, Matty English, Jake Wardle, Olly Russell, Sam Hewitt, Louis Senior, Innes Senior, Joe Wardle.

Hull KR’s 19-man squad: Craig Hall, Ben Crooks, Jimmy Keinhorst, Ryan Shaw, Danny McGuire, Robbie Mulhern, Joel Tomkins, Weller Hauraki, Mitch Garbutt, Chris Atkin, Junior Vaivai, Danny Addy, George Lawler, Ryan Lannon, Kane Linnett, Josh Drinkwater, Will Oakes, Adam Rooks, Antoni Maria.

Huddersfield’s odds are 4/9 to emerge victors, while Hull KR are priced at 15/8 with Betfred.
