Wakefield Trinity vs Hull FC: Team news, injuries and TV channel as Luke Gale primed for debut

WAKEFIELD TRINITY are still looking for their first win of the 2023 Super League season as they host Hull FC at Belle Vue on Thursday night.

Trinity definitely improved in their 32-18 loss to the Warrington Wolves last weekend, but Mark Applegarth’s men still have a zero on the table.

Hull, meanwhile, stemmed a seven-game losing run with victories over Huddersfield Giants and then Wigan Warriors at the weekend.

Team news and injuries

Trinity will be without Liam Kay following his failed Head Injury Assessment in the loss to Warrington, but Luke Gale could make his Wakefield debut. Tom Lineham is back in the reckoning.

There is just one change by Tony Smith to the 21-man squad that beat Wigan last week with Jack Brown coming in to replace Harvey Barron.
