Willie Peters has delivered a full Hull KR injury update ahead of the World Club Challenge.<\/p>\n

Hull KR head coach Willie Peters has delivered a full injury update ahead of the World Club Challenge, with doubt cast over Dean Hadley\u2019s fitness.<\/p>\n

The influential forward was a late withdrawal against York Knights, with the reigning champions falling to a shock 19-18 defeat at the LNER Community Stadium<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hadley, 33, pulled out during the warm-up on Thursday night, having been named to start in the front-row. The experienced utility was replaced by Jack Brown, while the Robins fell to a defeat after Ata Hingano kicked a late drop goal against the reigning champions.<\/p>\n

The momentum shifted when Mikey Lewis was sent to the sin-bin for a trip on Liam Harris in the second half<\/a>, with York overturning a 18-6 deficit in front of a sell-out crowd. It also marked the club’s first Super League fixture, promoted ahead of the 2026 campaign.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, as expected, new recruit and 2023 Dream Team prop Tom Amone should be available to face Brisbane Broncos at the MKM Stadium. The two respective champions will go head-to-head on February 19, while the NRL champions touched down in England earlier this week.<\/p>\n

Hooker Jez Litten also passed a head injury assessment to return against York in the early exchanges, going on to assist Rovers’ three tries.<\/p>\n

\u201cDean had a rib issue, and then he got an injection that didn\u2019t work,” Peters explained post-match. “It didn\u2019t have the effect that we thought it would. He obviously didn\u2019t take to the field. We\u2019re not sure on him, we\u2019ll have to wait and see.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just hope he\u2019s okay, because he\u2019s an important part to what we do.<\/p>\n

\u201cJez Litten is fine, he got through the game. Tom Amone should be fine, and it depends how everyone comes out of York.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A full Hull KR injury update with the World Club Challenge ahead.
