Gildart required surgery and has been on the recovery trail ever since.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Before his injury, the 29-year-old was in fine form, scoring eight tries in 13 appearances across all competitions, along with five Super League assists. His return comes at a critical time and is a significant boost ahead of the play-offs &#8211; but also presents a tough call for Peters.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Jack Broadbent has filled the centre role in Gildart\u2019s absence, making 13 appearances in the position since his team-mate\u2019s injury blow. The 24-year-old\u2019s versatility has been a major asset this season, also featuring at full-back, on the wing, and from the bench. He has played 28 games in total, scoring 17 tries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">With top spot all but confirmed, the next two rounds could offer a chance to rest key players. Kiwi veteran Peta Hiku has missed just one match all season, while in-form winger Tom Davies has featured in all but two games.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Meanwhile, <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hulldailymail.co.uk\/sport\/rugby-league\/hull-kr-star-misses-derby-10481872#:~:text=All%20Out%20Rugby%20League%20has,give%20Booth%20his%20latest%20opportunity.\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Joe Burgess missed the recent derby win due to minor tightness during the captain\u2019s run and was not risked<\/a>. In his place, Noah Booth seized his latest opportunity, scoring a try in the 18-4 victory.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">However, when the play-offs begin, Peters will face one of his most difficult &#8211; but welcome &#8211; selection dilemmas of the season, as <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hulldailymail.co.uk\/all-about\/hull-kr\" target=\"\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Hull KR<\/a> chase a historic treble. They could secure the League Leaders\u2019 Shield on Saturday night with a win or draw against Wakefield Trinity. It could also be confirmed if Wigan Warriors fail to beat Castleford Tigers 24 hours prior at the Brick Community Stadium.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A huge call is set to be made by Hull KR boss Willie Peters.Hull KR head coach Willie&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":412483,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4102],"tags":[112834,4151,6531,79,6533,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-412482","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-rugby","8":"tag-hull-kr","9":"tag-rugby","10":"tag-rugby-league","11":"tag-sports","12":"tag-super-league","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115178648626210381","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/412482","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=412482"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/412482\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/412483"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=412482"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=412482"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=412482"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
