The team news is in for this afternoon’s Good Friday Derby, brought to you in association with Jadan Press.
The Black & Whites will take on the Robins in front of a capacity crowd for the Betfred Super League Round Eight fixture this afternoon – the first time the Easter clash has been played in West Hull since 2019, and the biggest attendance since 2009.
Smith has made five changes to the side that lined-up against Warrington last week.
Jamie Shaul makes his first start of the season, coming in at full-back, while Ben McNamara is also included in the halves having recovered from a shoulder injury.
Ligi Sao also returns having served his one-match suspension, while Mitieli Vulikijapani is named on the bench and set for his first appearance of the season.
Darnell McIntosh also returns to action after appearances in the FC reserves side.
Tex Hoy drops out with a hamstring injury, with Davy Litten, Joe Lovodua, Danny Houghton, and Andre Savelio also dropping out after last week’s match.
Hull remain without Jake Trueman through injury.
