Centre Chev Walker will make his comeback for Hull KR as the high-flying Robins play host to Castleford on Friday.
Walker is back from a two-month absence after dislocating his shoulder, but will be on the bench as the Tigers visit Craven Park.
Veteran Stanley Gene is expected to be fit to play despite suffering a scare over a leg injury during the week.
Jason Netherton is definitely out though as he misses a match-up with cousin Kirk due to a badly gashed knee.
Justin Morgan's men briefly moved to the top of the table after beating Wigan last time out, but they are still looking strong in second, just a point behind leaders St Helens.
The Tigers are down in eighth place but are only two points off fourth in a congested table, but they are coming into the game on the back of two defeats.
Castleford do welcome back prop Craig Huby after a four-match absence with a broken hand.
Former Rovers hooker Kirk Netherton also returns from injury to face his former team-mates, although not his cousin Jason.
Acting captain Ryan McGoldrick hopes to shake off a stomach muscle injury to keep his place at full-back.
Hull KR: Briscoe, Fox, Welham, Webster, Colbon, Cooke, Dobson, Fozzard, Fisher, Newton, Galea, Gene, Walker, Murrell, Fitzhenry, Aizue, Wheeldon, I'Anson, Mills.
Castleford: Dixon, Shenton, Evans, Wainwright, Chase, Sherwin, Sargent, Huby, Ferres, Clayton, Westerman, Jones, Higgins, Feather, Boyle, Netherton, Ford, Faumuina, McGoldrick.
