Lachlan Coote replaces Will Dagger for Hull KR as they host Warrington this Friday.

Coote, 31, has been limited to just two appearances so far this season due to a hamstring injury. He made the switch to Craven Park during the off-season from St Helens on a two-year contract.

Ryan Hall returns to the mix, having been rested for their Challenge Cup tie against Leigh. Tony Smith’s side claimed their spot in the quarter-finals with a 24-18 victory over Leigh.

Ben Crooks made his first appearance from injury in the cup tie. He has been named again in the Hull KR squad.

Warrington skipper Jack Hughes returns to the 21-man squad following his suspension. Daryl Powell’s side look to return to winning ways having lost their last four in league and cup.

Most recently, they were knocked out of the cup by Wakefield at the Halliwell Jones Stadium with a 16-12 score.

Joe Bullock is also back in contention having recovered from a minor elbow injury. He has missed the club’s last two games.

Billy Magoulias could make his second appearance for the club, having made his debut against Trinity last weekend.
