Hull FC coach Peter Gentle has called up centre Ben Crooks to plug the gap in his squad created by the absence of Gareth Ellis, who injured his foot in the warm-up to last Friday’s opening defeat at Leeds Rhinos. Fellow forwards Liam Watts and Danny Tickle are also out through injury. The Black and Whites will have six men making their home debuts.

Bradford Bulls coach Francis Cummins keeps the side that thrashed Wakefield Trinity Wildcats in their opening game, with Jamie Foster retaining the full-back spot on his return to Hull FC. Prop Nick Scruton sustained an eye injury against the Wildcats but looks certain to be passed fit.
