Full-back Sam Tomkins is expected to be fit despite being taken off with concussion after being injured scoring Wigan's second try at Odsal.Hull KR are expected to be unchanged from the team that won 25-0 at Salford in the Cup.Second rower Clint Newton and former Wigan winger Liam Colbon are their only injury absentees.Wigan hope to continue their winning sequence against Hull KR as they bid to go back level on points with in-form Super League leaders Warrington.The Warriors, who have ended Rovers' season for the past two years in the play-offs, have won their last six Super League meetings with the Robins.Rovers' last win was a 20-12 triumph at Wigan in May 2009.But the Robins made a successful trek across the M62 last week when they won 25-0 at Salford in the Challenge Cup.And, with the Willie Mason Affair finally done and dusted, and talk this week of signing up chief playmaker Michael Dobson on a new contract, things look brighter at Craven Park.Wigan are glad of the extra day's rest this week after a punishing 26-22 triumph in last Sunday's BBC-televised fifth-round tie at Odsal.But they have now won their last seven games since the shock 47-28 home defeat by Catalan Dragons on 8 April and that winning run started at Craven Park the following Friday night with a 28-16 win against Rovers.
