Hull KR will be hoping they won't become the first side to lose to Celtic Crusaders when the two sides go head-to-head on Sunday.
The Robins come into the game fresh from a 31-18 win over Wakefield last weekend in front of their own fans.
The result came at a price, though, with Daniel Fitzhenry picking up an elbow injury against the Wildcats.
Coach Justin Morgan will give the Australian a late fitness test before deciding on his side for the fixture at Craven Park.
Ben Fisher will start at hooker if Fitzhenry is ruled out, with Ben Cockayne on stand-by to come into the squad.
Tough start
The Crusaders have endured a tough start to life in Super League, losing all four of their fixtures they have played so far.
However they did push St Helens close last time out, eventually losing 4-0 at Brewery Field to last year's beaten Grand Finalists.
Former Hull KR winger Luke Dyer missed the clash with Saints due to a thigh injury but has recovered in time to face his former employers.
Mark Lennon, another ex-Robin, will not get to play against his old team-mates, though, as he suffered a broken thumb last Saturday.
Full-back Tony Duggan and scrum-half Jace Van Dijk are also missing due to injuries. Aled James has been added to the squad by coach John Dixon.
Hull KR squad: Briscoe, Fox, Walker, Welham, Colbon, I'Anson, Dobson, Fozzard, Fitzhenry, Aizue, Wheeldon, Galea, Newton, Murrell, Fisher, Netherton, Lovegrove, Cockayne, Webster.
Celtic Crusaders squad: Chalk, Dyer, A. James, Hannay, Dalle Cort, Blackwood, Quinn, Smith, O'Hara, J. James, Withers, Bryant, Peek, Beasley, Mapp, Budworth, Lupton, Flower, Chan.
