THE TEAM NEWS
HULL FC
- Hull FC got their season off to a winning start as they edged a tight affair with Wakefield Trinity in awful conditions last week as they showed some real character late on to hang on following Jake Connor’s red card.
- The star fullback will now be forced to sit this contest out after he was handed a one-match ban and he will be joined on the sidelines by Andre Savelio after the back-rower was also banned by the disciplinary committee but Josh Griffin could return from a hamstring injury.
21-man squad: 2 Adam Swift, 4 Josh Griffin, 5 Darnell McIntosh, 6 Josh Reynolds, 7 Luke Gale, 8 Ligi Sao, 9 Danny Houghton, 10 Tevita Satae, 13 Jordan Lane, 14 Joe Lovodua, 17 Brad Fash, 19 Ben McNamara, 20 Jack Brown, 21 Jordan Johnstone, 23 Connor Wynne, 24 Cameron Scott, 25 Mitieli Vulikijapani, 26 Marcus Walker, 28 Aidan Burrell, 29 Jamie Shaul, 31 Charlie Severs
Unavailable: Manu Ma’u, Joe Cator, Josh Bowden, Scott Taylor, Kane Evans, Andre Savelio, Jake Connor
Questionable: Josh Griffin, Jamie Shaul
ST. HELENS
- St. Helens made an eye-catching return to action as the defending champions saw off Catalans Dragons in a repeat of last season’s Grand Final to lay down a marker for the rest of the competition.
- Saints are going in search of a fourth successive title with last week’s effort suggests that they will be the team to beat once again this term and head coach Kristian Woolf has been handed the luxury of being able to name the same 21-man squad for this trip to Hull FC.
21-man squad: 1 Jack Welsby, 2 Tommy Makinson, 3 Will Hopoate, 4 Mark Percival, 6 Jonny Lomax, 7 Lewis Dodd, 8 Alex Walmsley, 9 James Roby, 10 Matty Lees, 11 Sione Mata’utia, 12 Joe Batchelor, 13 Morgan Knowles, 14 Joey Lussick, 15 Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook, 16 Curtis Sironen, 17 Agnatius Paasi, 18 Kyle Amor, 19 Jake Wingfield, 21 Josh Simm, 22 Ben Davies, 23 Konrad Hurrell
Unavailable: Regan Grace, James Bell
Questionable: Lewis Dodd, Mark Percival
THE PREDICTION
Hull FC got off the mark at the first time of asking in 2022 but they face an almighty task to back that up. In what will be an emotional affair following the passing of club legend Johnny Whiteley MBE earlier in the week, Hull will be eager to put on a good show but it will be tricky for them without key man Jake Connor following his sending off last week. Defending champions St. Helens arrive on the back of a bruising encounter in which they comfortably prevailed against Catalans Dragons and having won the past 11 games in all competitions between the two, Saints have to be favoured to come out on top once again while they should also be good enough to cover the -8 handicap.
