Drew Darbyshire

Hull FC will be without Mickey Paea on Friday, while Castleford have named an unchanged squad.

Lee Radford has made one change to his Hull FC side that were demolished by Warrington Wolves last week. Paea picked up a knock last Thursday and joins Albert Kelly, Jake Connor, Joe Westerman, Josh Bowden, Mark Minichiello, Chris Green and Marc Sneyd on the sidelines.

Cameron Scott, who played in Yorkshire’s defeat to Lancashire in last week’s Under-19s Academy Origin fixture, comes into the Black and Whites’ squad. Brad Fash and Hakim Miloudi could play for Hull after not making the 17-man squad at Warrington.

Castleford Tigers coach Daryl Powell has named an unchanged team to the one that eased past Catalans Dragons last time out. Jake Webster and Will Maher could feature after not making the cut for the 17-man squad last Saturday.

The televised Super 8s fixture takes place at the KCOM Stadium on Friday, 7:45pm kick-off.

FC 19-man squad: Jamie Shaul, Bureta Faraimo, Carlos Tuimavave, Josh Griffin, Fetuli Talanoa, Scott Taylor, Danny Houghton, Dean Hadley, Jordan Abdull, Danny Washbrook, Brad Fash, Sika Manu, Jez Litten, Jordan Lane, Hakim Miloudi, Masi Matongo, Cameron Scott, Liam Harris, Lewis Bienek.

Tigers 19-man squad: James Clare, Mitch Clark, Greg Eden, Luke Gale, Oliver Holmes, Will Maher, Nathan Massey, Peter Mata’utia, Mike McMeeken, Paul McShane, Grant Millington, Adam Milner, Junior Moors, Ben Roberts, Michael Shenton, Jake Trueman, Joe Wardle, Liam Watts, Jake Webster.
