Hull FC travel to face Wakefield Trinity on Thursday night and they’ll be without some key players, as confirmed in the team news.
Both teams boast a record of one win and two losses making Thursday night’s clash an intriguing one, particularly given the fact that Wakefield claimed the sixth and final play-off spot at the expense of Hull FC in 2025.
As such, the two points on offer at Belle Vue on Thursday night feel of huge importance and the injury absences for each side could play a big role in who comes away with that victory.
Daryl Powell and John Cartwright have both named their 21-man squad for the game with several key players previously ruled out.
