Hull KR have suffered a fresh setback after losing Peta Hiku for Saturday's crucial trip to Warrington Wolves.

The 2025 Dream Team centre has been handed a one-match suspension following his yellow card in KR's defeat to Wakefield Trinity – a result that has left the Super League champions in danger of slipping out of the top six.

Hiku was hit with a grade C charge for his late hit on former Rovers outside back Will Tate, taking his points tally over the threshold for a ban.

The fifth-placed Robins are two points behind Warrington ahead of the Halliwell Jones Stadium clash.

Hiku was the only Super League player banned by the match review panel, with Wakefield back-rower Isaiah Vagana and York Knights utility man Kieran Buchanan among the players fined.
