Hull FC v Leeds Rhinos: Super 8s preview
Last Updated: 21/08/15 10:38pm
Leeds have rested Kallum Watkins and Joel Moon for Friday's Super 8s trip to the KC Stadium to face Hull FC.
The Rhinos meet Hull KR in the Challenge Cup final on August 29 and coach Brian McDermott has confirmed he will make a number of changes as they look to maintain their four-point lead at the Super 8s summit.
As well as Watkins and Moon, Brett Delaney misses the trip to east Yorkshire while Adam Cuthbertson and Mitch Achurch could also miss out, the latter suffering a concussion during last weekend's win over Wigan.
Josh Walters, Robbie Ward, Ashton Golding and Ash Handley all return to the Rhinos' 19-man squad.
Hull FC recorded a morale-boosting victory at St Helens last weekend and coach Lee Radford makes two changes to his squad.
Setaimata Sa and Jordan Thompson both picked up injuries in the Langtree Park success and are replaced by Jack Logan and Steve Michaels.
"The average age of the side last week was 23 so there's only Mark Minichiello propping us up at the moment," said Radford.
"We've got some knocks so for the young blokes that are coming in the experience is invaluable, not only for the back end of the season but for next season as well."
Hull FC: Jordan Abdull, Jack Downs, Brad Fash, Chris Green, Dean Hadley, Danny Houghton, Tom Lineham, Jack Logan, Steve Michaels, Mark Minichiello, Curtis Naughton, Mickey Paea, Iafeta Palea'aesina, Jordan Rankin, Jamie Shaul, Marc Sneyd, Fetuli Talanoa, Liam Watts, Joe Westerman.
Leeds Rhinos: Carl Ablett, Mitch Achurch, Tom Briscoe, Rob Burrow, Adam Cuthbertson, Mitch Garbutt, Ashton Golding, Ryan Hall, Ash Handley, Zak Hardaker, Jimmy Keinhorst, Kylie Leuluai, Danny McGuire, Jamie Peacock, Kevin Sinfield, Brad Singleton, Josh Walters, Robbie Ward, Stevie Ward.
