FOUR RETURN FOR SAINTS TRIP
Gareth Ellis, Mark Minichiello, Carlos Tuimavave and Jansin Turgut are all back in the Hull FC 19-man squad for this weekend’s game away against St Helens.
The Black and Whites travel to Langtree Park on Sunday (8th May), kick-off 4.30pm, for a Sixth Round clash against 12-time Challenge Cup winners Saints.
Captain Ellis returns from suspension whilst Minichiello, who missed out through injury last week despite being named in the squad to face Catalans Dragons, also comes back into the fold.
They will provide a much-needed boost for head coach Lee Radford, who is without Frank Pritchard and Sika Manu. Both back-rowers are away on international duty.
Carlos Tuimavave could make his first appearance since Hull’s 17-16 away win against Saints in April, having overcome a groin injury, whilst youngster Jansin Turgut is also included.
Dean Hadley is the other change from last week’s squad, with the Hull-born second-row forward coming into the side at the last minute against Catalans to replace Minichiello.

I don't rate him, wish he was playing tbf, got to stop fages he's a nippy player who plays at the line a tired defenders nightmare, I'm sure we've done our homework though, Owens is the weak spot out wide.
Lomax has looked very hungry and will be a danger, Turner offers as much if not more than any of our current centres do though he's been playing LF and even stand-off. I disagree with those not ''rating' him, he'd get into our 17 no problem.
If we play to our strengths with the determination and skill we've shown of late we'll win but it's going to be a very close hard fought game whichever way it goes.
