Herman Ese’ese is set to make his first Hull FC appearance of the season at Warrington Wolves this Friday night, with interim head coach Andy Last naming the big prop on the bench.
The front row forward, out for the last nine months with an Achilles injury, is one of four changes to a side missing 14 players to injury and suspension.
As confirmed by Last on Wednesday, Aidan Sezer will also start, returning to the team after being dropped for the Leigh Leopards game last time out. Elsewhere, Amir Bourouh and Matty Laidlaw are back after recent head knockS. They replace Ben Johnson, Lennon Clark, and Will Hutchinson. Callum Kemp also drops out and is now the 18th man.
At full-back, Logan Moy holds his place with Harvey Barron and Tom Brisoce on the wings. Zak Hardaker and Lloyd Kemp are in the centres, with Sezer joined by Jake Arthur in the halves.
Up front, Jeremiah Mata’utia and Harvie Hill start at prop, with Bourouh at hooker. Joe Batchelor and Ethan O’Neill are in the back row with Cade Cust selected at loose-forward.
Ese’ese and Laidlaw are joined on the bench by Hugo Salabio and Will Kirby.
Hull are without Will Pryce (ACL), Davy Litten (knee), Lewis Martin (ankle), Jed Cartwright (hamstring), John Asiata (hamstring), James Bell (knee), Sam Lisone (pec), Ligi Sao (shoulder), Connor Bailey (collarbone), Arthur Romano (ankle), Brad Fash (knee), and Joe Ward (ACL) to injury.
