St Helens old boy hoping to ruin skipper James Roby’s landmark day against Hull KR

Hull KR fullback Lachlan Coote, who was a cult hero during his stint at St Helens and even had a chant named in his honour, returns to his old stomping ground for the first time on Sunday.

He enjoyed many magic moments with Saints and nobody needs to tell him what to expect on an afternoon when home skipper James Roby is set to move into pole position in the all-time Super League appearance table on 455.

Coote, who joined Hull KR at the beginning of this season, also needs one appearance to reach 250 in a career both Down Under and in England and will be hoping to inspire the Robins to their first victory over Saints since June 28, 2013.

St Helens have also won their last 11 home meetings with Hull KR.
