INJURY BLOW FOR KR STARS

|June 25, 2025
JAMES Batchelor will see a specialist on a throat injury that could sideline the back-rower for up to six weeks, Hull KR head coach Willie Peters has revealed.
The 27-year-old has been a key figure in Rovers' 2025 success, helping end their long wait for silverware and guiding the team to the top of the Super League table, four points ahead of Wigan. However, he is set for a stint on the sidelines with further prognosis required.
"Unfortunately, James Batchelor won't play this week," boss Peters revealed. "He hurt his throat last week and he's going to go to a specialist to see how long he's going to be out for. Once he's seen the specialist, I'll be able to give some more exact details. The timeframe is a bit grey at the moment, it could be two weeks but it could be up to six.
