Rovers v Giants: Teams

Hull KR and Huddersfield Giants will both look to put last weekend's Super League defeats behind them when they meet at New Craven Park on Sunday.

Rovers crashed to a 32-6 defeat at Wigan while Nathan Brown's Giants were edged out 14-6 by Hull at the KC Stadium.

Hull KR boss Justin Morgan is expected to switch Ben Cockayne from centre to full-back in place of the injured Shaun Briscoe for the match.

Briscoe's injury therefore paves the way for ex-Leeds centre Mike Ratu to make his debut.

Ratu missed the opening two games of the season with a hamstring injury but returns in time to take his place in Rovers' 19-man squad.

Confidence

Loose forward Paul Cooke is also in the running for a starting berth after allaying fears of a broken hand, and second-rower Ben Galea is poised to make his first appearance of the season after recovering from a knee injury.

Huddersfield welcome the return of full-back and skipper Brett Hodgson, who missed last Friday's defeat at Hull with a back strain, so Leroy Cudjoe reverts to the wing.

Hooker Shaun Lunt is also named in coach Brown's strong squad despite picking up a wrist injury a week ago.

Speaking ahead of his side's second visit to Hull in the space of eight days, Brown told the Huddersfield Examiner: "Although we lost last week, we'll be going to Hull KR with confidence.

"We know what to expect from Hull KR and I'm sure they know what to expect from us too, and it promises to be a tough contest.

"Attack-wise they have changed Paul Cooke around a little bit but, on the whole, their important players are still important to them, so we've got a fair idea of what's coming, and so do they. The key is making sure we're better equipped for it than they are."

Hull KR squad: Cockayne, Fox, Welham, Webster, Ratu, Colbon, Cooke, Dobson, Vella, Lovegrove, Wheeldon, Murrell, Newton, Cook, Watts, Netherton, Fisher, Galea, I'Anson.

Huddersfield squad: B. Hodgson, Cudjoe, Lolesi, Whaturia, D. Hodgson, Brown, Robinson, Crabtree, Lunt, Gilmour, Fa'alogo, Raleigh, D. Griffin, Lawrence, Faiumu, Grix, Aspinwall, Patrick, Horne.
