Hull KR will be monitoring both Karl Lawton and Dean Hadley ahead of next Saturday\u2019s Challenge Cup Final with both men picking up injury concerns in the dominant win over Wigan Warriors.<\/p>\n

The Robins ran in 11 tries as they beat Wigan 62-4<\/a> in a game that literally saw men play against boys, with Hull KR at near full strength against a Warriors side that had 10 debutants<\/a> and under 80 Super League appearances in the starting XIII.<\/p>\n

With the Challenge Cup Final on the horizon, Wigan boss Matt Peet took no chances with suspensions or injuries and it seems that the latter of those could have come back to bite Willie Peters given the concerns regarding Lawton and Hadley.<\/p>\n

It was believed that Lawton had left the field due to an issue with his bloodied nose following last week\u2019s game, however, Peters confirmed post-match to Sky Sports that the versatile forward had suffered a rib injury with Hadley picking up a hamstring issue.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a couple of guys we need to have a look at and see where they\u2019re at,\u201d the Australian confirmed.<\/p>\n

\u201cLawto has got a rib (issue), I wanted to bring a couple of lads off\u2026 we\u2019ll have to have a look at him.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll have to send Dean for a scan just to see where that (hamstring) is at.\u201d<\/p>\n

Job done for Hull KR as full-back hailed<\/p>\n

One man who came in for high praise from Peters was full-back Jack Broadbent, who ran for over 300 metres, registered two assists and scored one try.<\/p>\n

Asked about the versatile back, Peters said: \u201cI think he\u2019s exceptional. We can play him in the halves, we can play fullback, centre wing, and he does the job.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was proud of him last week. Obviously, it was a tough decision, I said that openly, and the way he trained that week, he was the best trainer that we had from an effort and attitude-wise.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for the game and how Hull KR approached it compared to Wigan, Peters said: \u201cWe approached this game to get two points, and we got that. So, yeah, there\u2019s a couple of guys we\u2019re going to have a look at and see where they\u2019re at. We wanted to play at home and get two points and we achieved that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Robins will now focus on recovery ahead of next Saturday\u2019s Challenge Cup Final with particular eyes on how Lawton and Hadley recover.<\/p>\n
