HULL FC interim coach Andy Last has made two changes to the side that went down 12-4 to Warrington Wolves last weekend.

Zak Hardaker (head/neck) and Cade Cust (shoulder) have been replaced by Jed Cartwright and loanee Max Wood, who has joined the club from Warrington for the next month.

Meanwhile, Huddersfield Giants boss Jim Lenihan has made just one change, with Oliver Russell returning in place of Lewis Jagger.

New signing Zane Dunford has not been included.
