Hull KR boss Willie Peters provides injury latest after losing star names for Salford Red Devils trip

Coote and Storton were conspicuous by their absence when Peters named his 21-man squad for Thursday's trip to Salford Red Devils, leaving Rovers without four players that featured in round one.

Ryan Hall sustained a rib injury in the first half against Wigan, while Rhys Kennedy left the field with a nasty head injury.

Peters is not overly concerned about the early injury situation, stressing that each player will spend only a short period of time on the sidelines.

"Hally is feeling a bit of discomfort," said Peters during his weekly press conference on Tuesday afternoon. "He'll have a week or two off and then he'll be back playing again.

"Rhys has recovered really well. It was a nasty concussion and he had to go to hospital. It wasn't good to see a player go down the way Rhys did.

"The most pleasing part is he's bouncing around today with a smile on his face. He'll go through all the protocols and will have 12 days off. He'll hopefully return next week.

"Lachlan has strained his hammy. We got a message in the game that he'd tightened up which now we know is a minor strain.

"He got through to the end of the game and fortunately didn't do any more damage but there is a slight issue there so we need to manage him now. He'll be back in one or two weeks.

"Matty has got a fractured toe. He had this problem last year and it's happened again.

"Hopefully this is only a minor one and a week. We'll look at it again next week. He had a few weeks out with it last year but from what I believe it's not as bad."

Peters has brought Jimmy Keinhorst, Sam Wood, Luis Johnson and Phoenix Laulu-Togaga'e into his squad for the clash at the AJ Bell Stadium.

He dropped a strong hint that he will turn to the players that just missed out last week, which could mean debuts for Louis Senior and Sam Luckley.

Frankie Halton is in line for a recall, while Will Dagger could make his first competitive appearance since July as Coote's replacement.

"There are a number of players that trained well during the pre-season but what I will do is reward the players that were ahead of the others," said Peters.

"I've always said that the way we want to train and what we do in the pre-season will reflect who we are during the year, and that those players will be rewarded for that.

"The players that are selected will be the players that stood out more so in the pre-season.

"We still need to find that balance of what our best 17 looks like. We've got some depth in our squad and that has been tested early. It gives an opportunity for those players to come in and show why they should be picked next week."
