The all-important team news for Hull FC’s home clash with Wigan

Club News

The team news is in for this afternoon’s Betfred Super League R18 clash with Wigan Warriors at the MKM Stadium, in association with Jadan Press.

The Black & Whites welcome current table toppers Wigan to East Yorkshire, looking to make it three consecutive home wins against the Warriors for the first time since 1985.

Simon Grix has made four changes to his seventeen-man squad that took on Hull KR seven days ago, with Ed Chamberlain and King Vuniyayawa coming into the side on loan.

Jack Walker is set to make his first Super League appearance in over two months, as he starts at fullback in place of youngster Logan Moy this afternoon.

Davy Litten will start at centre, with there being no Carlos Tuimavave, and Tiaki Chan is ineligible to face his parent club.

Brad Fash also misses out this week, so fellow forward Matty Laidlaw comes in to replace him.

Danny Houghton (calf), Joe Cator (back), Jack Ashworth (ankle), Mitieli Vulikijapani (knee), Nick Staveley (knee), Charlie Severs (shoulder), Cobie Wainhouse (knee) and Jed Cartwright (foot) remain sidelined for Hull.
