Hull KR will need to overcome a poor record against Huddersfield if they are to breathe some life into their Engage Super League campaign on Saturday.
Rovers have lost four out of their first six matches this season, their worst start since returning to the top flight in 2007.
They welcome Huddersfield to Craven Park in front of the Sky Sports cameras, with the Giants having won seven of their eight Super League matches against the Robins.
Head coach Justin Morgan makes only one change to his 19-man squad after the 34-18 defeat to Salford last time out, with Scott Taylor replacing Liam Colbon, who suffered a rib injury against the Reds. Winger Peter Fox is set to return to the staring line-up.
Huddersfield coach Nathan Brown continues to rotate as his side look to get back to winning ways following their 20-6 loss to Wigan.
Recalls
Winger Jermaine McGilvary, who has scored five tries this season, is recalled while former Hull KR forward Andy Raleigh is also included in the squad.
Joe Wardle and Jamie Simpson are not included after starting against the Warriors, while Dale Ferguson and Larne Patrick are given call-ups.
Captain Kevin Brown says the Giants must be more clinical if they want to maintain their bright start to the season.
"All the talk in training this week has been about being positive and finishing off the chances that we create for ourselves," he said.
"That's what the game is all about and, if we can do that, then we won't be far off in any game.
"The main area where we fell down against Wigan was that we didn't take our chances. When we looked at the video earlier this week we felt like we had played reasonably well."
Hull KR squad: Cockayne, Galea, Green, Fisher, Clinton, Hall, Hodgson, Netherton, Webster, Welham, Taylor, Watts, Fox, Lovegrove, Latus, Murrell, Wheeldon, Briscoe, Mason.
Huddersfield squad: Grix, Lawrence, Cudjoe, Gilmour, Hodgson, Brown, Brough, Crabtree, Robinson, Griffin, O'Donnell, Faiumu, Lunt, Mason, Raleigh, Kirmond, Patrick, McGillvary, Ferguson.
