Hull FC have named Harry Newman in their 21-man squad to face St Helens at the MKM Stadium on Thursday night. The on-loan Leeds Rhinos centre will wear number ’37’ and is one of five changes to the squad following the Good Friday defeat to Hull KR.
The 26-year-old has arrived on an original one-week loan and is set for his Hull debut against the Saints. Newman is joined by Yusuf Aydin, who will be given every chance to show he has recovered from an ankle injury, and Brad Fash, who is passed fit again after a late failed HIA ruled him out of the derby. Will Kirby is also brought in, while Lloyd Kemp is named.
Dropping out of the side are Jake Arthur (ankle), John Asiata (hamstring), Joe Batchelor (back), and Arthur Romano (ankle). Ryan Westerman also makes way.
Hull are without ten players to injury. In full, they are Will Pryce (ACL), Harvey Barron (ankle), Jake Arthur (ankle), Herman Ese’ese (Achilles), Joe Batchelor (back), Jed Cartwright (hamstring), John Asiata (hamstring), Arthur Romano (ankle), Joe Phillips (leg), and Joe Ward (ACL).
