Andy Last has made one change to his Hull FC 21-man squad ahead of Saturday’s Magic Weekend derby against Hull KR, with Cade Cust coming in for Harvey Barron.
Cust has missed Hull’s last three games with a shoulder issue but is now fit enough to be named in the extended squad. Barron drops out after failing a HIA against Wigan Warriors last week, with Tom Briscoe and Lewis Martin set to be on the wings.
Elsewhere, James Bell is included once again and will look to shake off the knee injury that has kept him out for the last two months. The Kiwi loose-forward last played against Toulouse Olympique on May 3 and is closing in on a return, having not been quite ready to face Wigan last week.
Ethan O’Neill is still out with a hamstring issue, with loan forward Jeremiah Mata’utia included and poised for his ninth appearance on loan.
In total, Hull are without 13 players with Barron and O’Neill joined by Will Pryce (ACL), John Asiata (hamstring), Sam Lisone (pec), Ligi Sao (shoulder), Connor Bailey (collarbone), Arthur Romano (ankle), Brad Fash (knee), Will Kirby (ACL), and Joe Ward (ACL) on the treatment table. Yusuf Aydin and Roman Dawson are suspended and each have two games to serve
