HULL FC emphatically put Wakefield Trinity to the sword in a rout that saw new signings Tex Hoy, Jake Clifford, Liam Sutcliffe and Brad Dwyer run riot.
It was 34-0 at half-time and 56-0 at full-time as Tony Smith’s men ran riot over a youthful Wakefield team.
Hull FC started the brighter of the two sides with Chris Satae forcing his way over from close range after Samisoni Langi was penalised for a ball steal. Jake Clifford’s conversion made it 6-0.
Clifford was the man of the moment and his pinpoint kick to the corner saw Adam Swift fly through the air for a brilliant score. The Black and Whites’ new halfback converted from the touchline as Hull led 12-0.
Hull were in the ascendancy by now and they had their third just before the midway point in the first-half with Swift going in at the corner again. Clifford was this time off target from exactly the same place as the visitors led 16-0.
Joe Cator was the next to romp home for the Black and Whites as Clifford’s conversion put Hull 22-0 up after less than half an hour.
It was two tries in two minutes when Jack Brown went over as Clifford converted to make it 28-0, with Liam Sutcliffe adding to Wakefield’s woe moments later.
34-0 down at half-time and things got worse for Trinity within seven minutes of the second-half as Darnell McIntosh flew for the corner.
Clifford’s conversion miss left the score at 38-0.
Joe Lovodua pounced on his own grubber kick as the hour approached after Jorge Taufua misjudged the bounce with Clifford making it 44-0.
Swift registered his hat-trick to bring up the 50-point mark with ten minutes of the game left as Ben McNamara converted to make it 50-0.
And Hull had just enough time for Davy Litten to cross and put the icing on the cake with a fine score. McNamara again converted to round off the scoring at 56-0.
