GENTLE MAKES FOUR CHANGES TO SQUAD

By Matt Holden | Wednesday, 24 April 2013

Hull FC coach Peter Gentle has made four changes to his 19-man squad for Friday’s clash with league leaders Wigan Warriors at the KC Stadium.

The Black and Whites will be looking for a fifth win on the bounce when hosting the in-form Warriors and Gentle has been boosted the by the return of Shannon McDonnell, Tom Briscoe, Mark O’Meley and Richard Whiting.

The quartet were not risked in the 62-6 victory over North Wales Crusaders in the Tetley’s Challenge Cup at the weekend but have recovered from minor knocks to take their place in the squad for Friday.

Jack Briscoe makes way for brother Tom having made his debut for the club in the cup win, while youngsters James Cunningham, Danny Nicklas and Dean Hadley are the other players to miss out.

Tickets for the game are on sale from the KC Stadium ticket office or by calling 01482 505 600, with prices starting from as little as £10.

The family area of the West Stand will once again be open for the game, with two adults and two children able to watch the match for just £50.

Wigan Warriors Head Coach Shaun Wane has today named his 19 Man Squad for Friday's away Super League trip to Hull FC, 8pm kick off.

Wigan welcome back to the squad, Blake Green, Michael McIlorum and Liam Farrell who were all left out of the 19 for last week's home Cup success over Leigh Centurions.

The only players not in contention for selection through injury are Paul Prescott, Epalahame Lauaki and Chris Tuson who are all sidelined.

Wigan Warriors 19 Man Squad (alphabetical order)

Josh Charnley, Dom Crosby, Gil Dudson, Liam Farrell, Ben Flower, Darrell Goulding, Blake Green, Harrison Hansen, Jack Hughes, Michael McIlorum, Lee Mossop, Sean O'Loughlin, Sam Powell, Pat Richards, Matty Smith, Scott Taylor, Iain Thornley, Logan Tomkins, Sam Tomkins

No Ellis, but I don't want to rush him. Hopefully in for next week. We need him and DJ back ASAP and playing consistently every week. They have the potential to change our game massively.

Maybe holding back Ellis for London to try and give the gate a boost or am I just been cynical

Shame about Ellis, guess he isn't quite 100%.

The biggest boost FC could give themselves is by beating Wigan on Friday.

We'll be lining up something like

S. Tomkins
Charnley
Thornley
Goulding
Richards
Green
Smith
Mossop
McIlorum
Flower
Hansen
Farrell
O'Loughlin

Taylor
L. Tomkins
Hughes
Crosby

See you Friday!
