Campese set for Hull KR return

ormer Canberra skipper Terry Campese is set to make his first Super League appearance for Hull KR in nine months following a nine-month injury lay-off.

Hull KR are likely to be boosted by the long-awaited return of skipper Terry Campese for their first match under new interim head coach James Webster.

The former Canberra and NSW five-eighth has been sidelined for nine months with a serious knee injury but has been named in Webster's 19-man squad for Sunday's game against Huddersfield at the John Smith's Stadium, where both teams will be looking for their first win of the season.

Rovers are also hoping for the return of Campese's half-back partner Albert Kelly, hookers Shaun Lunt and John Boudebza and forwards James Green and Graeme Horne.

"To have people like Terry Campese back in the fold with a chance of playing this week gives us some confidence," Webster said.

"I don't expect all of them to be back but they have trained in certain capacities. They've all got a better than 50-50 chance of playing but I can't see us being lucky enough to get them all back at once."

Huddersfield will give a debut to former Sydney Roosters fullback Jordan Tansey following his arrival on a month's loan from Wakefield while Joe Wardle, Eorl Crabtree and Kyle Wood all return from injury.
