“We are happy with all the lads we have brought in and - with some players due to return from injury during the next month - we can be comfortable with our strength in depth across all positions.”
Former Dewsbury Rams and Sheffield Eagles pivot Patch Walker, who came out of retirement to sign for Hunslet this week, could also feature this weekend.
Kilshaw added: “It’s a new phase in our season, we have been busy recruiting players and it’s important they all hit the ground running.
