The Celtic Crusaders will look to pick up their first ever Super League win on Sunday afternoon against Hull KR. Cru will be underdogs at the bookies - but a string of competitive performances will give fans hope of an upset at New Craven Park. After four games, the South Wales club sit 13th in the table.

Cru, however, travel to Humberside without skipper Jace Van Dijk and top try scorer Tony Duggan with both men still carrying injuries.

Mark Lennon is also unavailable - but Cru welcome back Luke Dyer who should start against his former club.

The game will see John Dixon come face-to-face with his Welsh assistant Justin Morgan. The 33-year-old Sydney-born prop won ten caps for Wales.

Rovers go into the game having enjoyed a strong start to the new campaign. The highlight was a 20-19 shock away win at St Helens, but after last weekend's brave 4-0 defeat against the Saints, Cru will be hopeful of staging an upset.
