Andy Last has named his match-day squad for tonight’s clash against Leeds Rhinos, brought to you in assocation with Jadan Press.
The Black & Whites were called into action less that 24 hours hours ago to take on the Rhinos at Emerald Headingley, with Castleford unable to fulfil their fixture and Hull stepping in to ensure a fixture goes ahead.
FC though are without 13 players, due to a mixture of injuries, and Covid-19, with one player positive test within the club’s bubble this week, and three others stood down due to test and trace proceedings.
Joe Cator, Jordan Lane, Masi Matongo, Gareth Ellis, Albert Kelly, Ratu Naulago, Danny Houghton, Josh Jones, Scott Taylor, Josh Jones, Adam Swift, Manu Ma’u, Kieran Buchanan and Jamie Shaul are all unavailable for selection.
Ben McNamara makes his first start for the Airlie Birds, having made a try-scoring professional debut against Castleford Tigers last week – he lines up in the halves alongside captain on the night Marc Sneyd, with Jake Connor at full-back.
Meanwhile Mahe Fonua makes his 150th career start in a strong three-quarter line featuring Cameron Scott, Carlos Tuimavave and Bureta Faraimo.
