Rovers v Bulls: Teams

Hull KR are likely to have to do without centres Chev Walker and Jake Webster for Sunday's home fixture with Bradford.

Former Leeds Rhino Walker is struggling due to a wrist injury while Webster has an ankle problem.

Coach Justin Morgan is also missing Chris Chester, Makali Aizue and Jason Netherton.

However, there is some good news for the Robins with Scott Murrell set to make a quick return to action.

The loose forward missed last week's away loss to Harlequins due to an ankle injury but is expected to be fit to play.

Deacon blow

Bradford will be without Paul Deacon for the next fortnight after he underwent a minor knee operation.

The Bulls' influential goal-kicker had been an ever-present this season but will miss Sunday's trip to New Craven Park and the following week's Challenge Cup tie against Toulouse.

"Paul has been struggling with a cartilage problem since day one of the season and it has held him back in the amount of training he has been able to do with the squad," said coach Steve McNamara.

"We decided to get the operation done and he has had a small piece of cartilage removed. He should be back for the game against Wigan."

Iestyn Harris is expected to come off the bench and assume both goal-kicking and scrum-half duties in Deacon's absence.

Forwards Davis Solomona, who missed last week's 24-8 victory at Hull FC with a calf injury, and Glenn Morrison both return to the squad.

Terry Newton is also available again after completing his suspension. He is likely to return to the starting line-up in place of Wayne Godwin, who will revert back to his role off the bench.

Hull KR squad: Briscoe, Fox, J. Webster, Cockayne, Fitzhenry, Cooke, J. Webster, Vella, Fisher, Mills, Gene, Newton, Galea, Crossman, Lovegrove, Murrell, K. Netherton, Steel, Watts

Bradford squad: Semi Tadulala, Jamie Langley, Dave Halley, Chris Feather, Paul Sykes, Glenn Morrison, Iestyn Harris, Andy Lynch, James Evans, Shontayne Hape, David Solomona, Craig Kopczak, Sam Burgess, Chris Nero, Wayne Godwin, Ben Jeffries, Simon Finnigan, Terry Newton, Tame Tupou.
