Huddersfield v Hull KR: Teams
Last Updated: 03/07/15 6:02pm
Hull KR coach Chris Chester has made four changes to his squad for Sunday's showdown with Huddersfield.
In what is their third game in 11 days, Hull KR travel to the John Smiths Stadium with a rotated squad in order to cope with the heavy workload.
John Boudebza, Ken Sio, Tony Puletua and stand-in skipper Tyrone McCarthy all make returns to the squad after missing out on the midweek win over Salford.
James Donaldson, James Greenwood, Matty Marsh and Jordan Cox make way for the new faces.
Meanwhile, Huddersfield have made three changes to their side. Aaron Murphy is reinstated in the squad after being out of action due to a knee injury, while Scott Grix and Kyle Wood have also been called up.
Jake Connor and Kruise Leeming have been dropped, while Brett Ferres is suspended following his sending-off for punching Rhys Hanbury in his side's victory over Widnes last month.
Giants' Eorl Crabtree this week praised the support of the Huddersfield faithful.
"At Widnes the fans were absolutely brilliant, as they have been all year," he said.
"We keep talking about the Cowbell Army and we want to add numbers to them because they’re brilliant; they get all the fans and the players going. I think it was a mutual respect between the fans and players at the end of the game at Widnes.
"We respect our fans because of the noise and the fact they travel over to watch us and they appreciate that we had 12 men we were having such a good game. It goes both ways, we buzz off the back of them buzzing and it was great to see.”
