Wakefield Trinity v Hull FC preview and 21-man squads

WAKEFIELD TRINITY have Mason Lino back in contention after missing their previous two matches with a hamstring injury.

It gives coach Daryl Powell an interesting decision to make, with Jack Sinfield having impressed in his place over the last fortnight.

Both may well feature, as Wakefield are without hooker Tyson Smoothy after he failed a head-injury assessment in last week’s defeat at Warrington Wolves.

The only other change to Trinity’s 21-man squad sees Tray Lolesio, who is yet to make his Super League debut, take the place of Jordan Williams.

Hull FC appear to have received welcome boosts with James Bell finally in line for a debut after recovering from a knee injury in pre-season and Aidan Sezer involved despite the eye issue which curtailed his involvement in last week’s home loss to York Knights.

Ligi Sao returns from suspension and Logan Moy – a potential fullback candidate following Will Pryce’s season-ending knee injury – comes into the squad too.

Harvey Barron (ankle) and Jed Cartwright (hamstring) are out with their fresh injuries while Liam Knight played his final game against York before being released by the club.
