Hull FC interim boss Andy Last has made four changes to his 21-man squad this week, as he takes charge of his first match at the MKM Stadium in his second temporary spell at the helm.
Last took over from John Carwright last month and his reign started in the best way possible thanks to a 50-10 away win at Castleford Tigers.
The former England assistant boss last took interim charge following the exit of Lee Radford in 2020, and in that brief spell he won eight of 14 matches.
Due to the Covid restrictions in that season, Last only took charge of one game at the MKM, or the KCOM as it was known back then, so the feeling of head coaching at the club’s home ground is still very new experience to him.
Ahead of this week’s game against Toulouse Olympique, FC secured loan extensions for Leeds Rhinos pair Harry Newman and Jeremiah Mata’utia after they both featured in last week’s victory.

In positive injury news, both Harvey Barron and Joe Batchelor are also included after both players have missed the majority of 2026 through injury.
Barron’s last appearance came in round three vs York, whilst Batchelor has only featured four times this year due to a number of different issues.
Matty Laidlaw returns after recovering from a dead leg, whilst Lennon Clark is also handed a place in the 21.
They replace brother pair Callum and Lloyd Kemp, who have both joined Goole Vikings on loan, and Ligi Sao, who will miss this week due to a failed HIA in that win over Castleford.
Opponents Toulouse, who are without a win in their last seven games, have made one change to their side as former Hull FC man Joe Cator returns in place of Mathieu Pons.
