“I’ve never actually thought about the flip side of that, but I want to go and embrace it.

“Hopefully I will get a warm reception.”

The winger, who won seven Grand Finals and the Challenge Cup twice with Leeds, added: “I am really looking forward to it. I played my first game for KR there, when we were playing at neutral venues, against Catalans, but was injured when we played Leeds there last year.

“It will be good to go back to the field I have played on so many times.
