There is plenty at stake for Huddersfield Giants as they travel to Hull KR tomorrow – boosted by the inclusion of Sam Rapira in their 19-man squad.
The former New Zealand international forward was a doubt after sustaining a head injury in the 22-14 win over Leeds Rhinos in the last round, but takes his place in a squad that shows no major changes from the one that faced the Rhinos.
The Robins are without Albert Kelly who reportedly has played his final game for Hull KR, with the half-back set to exit the Lightstream Stadium.
The 25-year-old, currently suspended by the Robins due to a disciplinary matter, will not feature in Red and White colours again.

Hull KR: Allgood, Blair, Campese, Clarkson, Cockayne, Dixon, Donaldson, Greenwood, Horne, Jubb, Lunt, Mantellato, Marsh, Minns, Peacock, Sio, Thornley, Tilse, Walker.
