Hull KR will again have to do without Liam Colbon when they face Wigan on Sunday as the winger has not sufficiently recovered from a rib injury.

Third-placed Rovers will also be without veteran forward Stanley Gene, who suffered a broken wrist in the recent defeat to Harlequins and faces a further six weeks on the sidelines.

Australian Daniel Fitzhenry makes a quick return from a groin injury and Rhys Lovegrove could feature after recovering from a long-term shoulder injury.

The visitors will be without the suspended Gareth Hock, who could face a two-year ban if his B sample confirms a positive cocaine test.

However, George Carmont, Sean O'Loughlin and youngster Sam Tomkins are all back in contention for a starting spot.

Distractions

Wigan head coach Brian Noble is hoping his side put the trauma of Hock's positive test behind them ahead of Sunday's fixture.

"There have been a couple of distractions but we have to get over those" he told the club's official website.

"The major distraction was for us was the way we performed last time out at Celtic. Our attitude was poor and we've discussed that at the start of the week. Some of our actions were dishonest and we had to cure that first and foremost.

"It's important now that we back up our words with actions. In practice we have and we need to perform a whole lot better on Sunday. "
