Hull FC will look to put pressure on sixth place Wakefield Trinity with a win over Catalans Dragons on Thursday evening, and their 21-man squad has been named for that clash, which will be live on Sky Sports.
The Black and Whites, who confirmed that seven players will leave the club at the end of the season, have had a much improved season compared to last year, with John Cartwright doing a magnificent job to rejuvenate and bring Hull FC back to being a playoff competing side.
Catalans have had a season full of wholesale changes, with Steve McNamara exiting the club earlier in the year, and the Dragons announcing over a dozen exits come the season’s end. With three wins from their last four however, Joel Tomkins’ men will be looking to continue that form until the very end and will hope to see their departing players leave on a high.
Both Hull FC and Catalans Dragons have announced their 21-man squads for the fixture, and here is the all important team news:

Hull FC Team News:
Whilst there aren’t too many changes, coach Cartwright has been handed a double boost, as hooker Amir Bourouh and prop Yusuf Aydin return to the side from suspension.
They replace Sam Eseh, who is a big blow to FC’s forward pack as he misses out through head injury protocols, and youngster Will Kirby.
Denive Balmforth returned to his parent club ahead of last week’s fixture, and could face the club he spent the majority of the season on loan with on Thursday night.
