Simon Grix has named his 21-man squad ahead of Friday’s Betfred Super League Round 10 fixture with Warrington Wolves, in association with Jadan Press. With just over a third of the season played, Hull FC will make their second visit of the year to the Halliwell Jones Stadium, looking to avenge their Round Two defeat there, when the Black & Whites battled valiantly with 12-men.
There was another gritty showing from Hull against Leeds on Sunday afternoon, but they were kept waiting for their first win in almost two months as they went down to a narrow defeat in a tense battle.
This Friday, Grix will take charge of his third game as Interim Coach of the Black & Whites, and he has made three changes to his 21-man squad for the trip across the Pennines.
Jake Trueman could make a first appearance in over eight months after recovering from an Achilles injury suffered in the latter stages of Hull’s 2023 campaign.
Over a decade since his last outing in a Black & White shirt, Tom Briscoe could be on the cusp of making his second debut for the club.
The experienced outside back signed on a permanent deal last week, and he has now overcome a calf injury sustained whilst playing for Leigh Leopards earlier in the season.
And Cam Scott also features in this week’s 21-man squad, having missed the visit of the Rhinos last weekend through the HIA protocols.
Jayden Okunbor, Zach Jebson and Matty Laidlaw make way in the squad this week.
Carlos Tuimavave (hamstring), Brad Fash (ankle), Jack Ashworth (thumb), Mitieli Vulikijapani (knee), Nick Staveley (knee) and Cobie Wainhouse (knee) all remain sidelined for Hull.
The full 21-man squad can be found below: 2 – Liam Tindall 4 – Liam Sutcliffe 6 – Jake Trueman 8 – Herman Ese’ese 9 – Danny Houghton 10 – Franklin Pele 12 – Ligi Sao 14 – Joe Cator 15 – Jordan Lane 17 – Cam Scott 19 – Morgan Smith 20 – Jack Brown 21 – Will Gardiner 23 – Davy Litten 26 – Lewis Martin 31 – Jack Walker 37 – Logan Moy 40 – Jack Charles 43 – Ed Chamberlain 44 – Tom Briscoe 45 – Yusuf Aydin

Walker Martin/Tindall Chamberlain Sutcliffe Briscoe Trueman Charles Ese’ese Houghton Sao Lane Scott Cator Subs Brown Pele Aydin Smith Moy, Gardiner, Tindall or Martin and Litten too miss out for me.

I'd start with smith in the halfs then bring trueman on after 30 mins or so when the initial heat has gone out of the game. Move smith to hooker and bring houghton off for a spell

Martin has played a lot of minutes and taken more than a few whacks and Tindall needs more game time, otherwise Martin keeps his place on merit. Start with a big pack, hence Sao in the second row. Need to be able to clear our lines effectively and defend hard on their line as I think Warrington will look to quell our enthusiasm and run over us early on.

Think you could be right regarding Martin/Tindall

Wouldn't have a back 3 of Scott lane Cator.To lightweight. Think ATM lane Cator deserve to start. Just not seeing anything in Scot to start him in 2 row. Would have Sao starting.
