Hull KR do have a game in hand following their heroic World Club Challenge triumph over Brisbane Broncos, but they have suffered domestic defeats to York Knights, Leeds Rhinos and, most recently, Catalans Dragons.

Here are some of the biggest talking points so far.

Head coach Willie Peters has been open about the need for his side to adapt to the game's new ruck interpretations. The changes for 2026 have been designed to speed up play and improve the spectacle.

While creative players such as Mikey Lewis and Jez Litten might have been expected to benefit, KR have, on the whole, lagged behind the competition's pacesetters so far this season.
