Huddersfield v Hull FC: 21-man squads, injury update and TV details

Huddersfield and Hull FC have both announced their squads for Thursday night’s round 15 clash at the John Smith’s Stadium (KO 7:45pm).

The Giants come into the game on the back of a double blow, having lost 14-12 to Wigan last week – their sixth straight defeat – and confirmation coming on Monday that star halfback Aidan Sezer is leaving to join Leeds at the end of the year.
