John Cartwright has made two changes to his Hull FC matchday side to take on Salford Red Devils this Sunday afternoon. Both changes come on the bench, with Jack Charles and Brad Fash coming in for Denive Balmforth and Matty Laidlaw.
Charles is now set for his first Super League appearance of the season. He has played on dual reg at Doncaster and for Hull’s reserves side in recent weeks, with Fash also appearing on dual reg.
Elsewhere, the starting side is the same at last week’s defeat to Castleford Tigers. At full-back, Jordan Rapana gets the nod again with Harvey Barron and Lewis Martin on the wings and Tom Briscoe and Davy Litten in the centres. Cade Cust and Aidan Sezer in the halves.
Up front, Herman Ese’ese starts with Liam Knight at prop. Amir Bourouh is at hooker, and like Cust, comes up against Salford for the first time since leaving the club for Hull ahead of the season.
Once again, Ed Chamberlain and Zak Hardaker are in the back row. Yusuf Aydin is at loose forward.
Charles and Fash are joined on the bench by Jack Ashworth and Sam Eseh. Laidlaw is the 18th man.
