Hull FC head coach Lee Radford has recalled four players from injury ahead of Sunday's Super League clash at the KC Stadium against Wakefield Wildcats.

Winger Jason Crookes comes into the side for the first time this season after recovering from a shoulder injury in pre-season, replacing Liam Colbon who misses out.

Dean Hadley and Josh Bowden are both back in contention after being rested for the second game of the Easter weekend due to slight knocks, whilst Chris Tuson returns after missing the last two matches.

That means there is no place for the experienced duo of Richard Horne and Liam Watts as competition for places in the squad continues to grow, whilst Jay Pitts is the other player that isn't named after going on loan to Bradford Bulls.

With a few tough calls to make this week, Radford said, " Everybody is aware that selection for this game was going to be difficult because everybody is pretty much available. It feels like a long time since we played and I can’t wait for Sunday to come around now.

"Defensively we are conceding 16 points a game, I would like us to bring that down slightly but we’re the third best team in the competition. We want the football and want to be down the other end."
AGAR NAMES 19-MAN SQUAD

Richard Agar has named new loan signing Jacob Fairbank in his 19-man squad to face Hull FC at the KC Stadium on Sunday.


Danny Kirmond has returned to the 19-man squad.
Fairbank joined from Huddersfield Giants on Thursday to cover for the absent Taulima Tautai (hamstring) and Andy Raleigh (wrist) as Trinity prepare for the trip to East Yorkshire.

He is one of four changes from the initial 19-man squad named to face the Giants on Easter Monday, with skipper Danny Kirmond returning along with Pita Godinet who was not named in the 19-man squad for that game but was later drafted in. 16-year old Max Jowitt is also named in the squad.

Trinity continue to be without Dean Collis, Reece Lyne and Ali Lauitiiti through injury whilst Danny Washbrook is in line to make a 200th career appearance against his first club.

The 19-man squad in full is:

Richard MATHERS
Paul SYKES
Pita GODINET
Scott ANDERSON
Paul McSHANE
Danny KIRMOND
Danny WASHBROOK
Matt RYAN
Richard MOORE
Jarrod SAMMUT
Chris ANNAKIN

Don't risk Yeaman and harsh on Hadley too.

Have a feeling that Tuson might not be risked and given another week.

I'd go with something like this. If Yeamo's a doubt play Whiting at centre. Tuson or Hadley in the second row but neither on the bench. I prefer two props on the bench, Azza as our interchange hooker and Thompson who's been in good form.

Horne must be injured as there is no way Radford would drop him, there are mates and he is from Hull, in fact they are such good friends , I know for a fact Horne cooks sausage and mash for Radford every Wednesday.

I'd go for,

Shaul
Talanoa
Yeaman/whiting
Crooks
Crookes
Rankin
Miller
Paea
Houghton
Carvell
Ellis
Whiting/Hadley

Big chance for Crookes, who I didn't expect to play for Hull again.

Should be enough to register win our first back to back game, although am concerned about the defensive capabilities of the Crook(e)s Brothers.

Crookes adds some good speed to our back line which we miss massively when Colbon plays. He really needs to make the most of the chance he has now as it could easily be his last. With Lineham and Talanoa fit, for my money Crookes doesn't make the team.

Crookes a definite starter for Sunday.

Whatever team is picked it should be a comfortable 30+ victory against a poor team.

Hope you are obviously wrong and it's at least competitive.

it will be closer then that. wakey do ship a lot of points over 30 per game on average but score a few too. could be a decent game

hull by 14

Said Hull by 14 too.

Cannot see it as a walkover it never is against Wakey, hoping for a win any win just so we can break our one win one loss run.
