All the team news for Hull FC v Wigan Warriors, St Helens v Castleford Tigers and Widnes Vikings v Hull KR in Super League on Friday.

Hull v Wigan (KO 8pm)

Hull coach Lee Radford has made one change to his initial squad, bringing in winger Curtis Naughton who is hoping to make his first start of the year instead of Australian Steve Michaels.

Former England winger Josh Charnley returns for Wigan after missing the last two matches with a facial injury, taking over from Oliver Gildart and head coach Shaun Wane is hoping for a better performance from his side. 

"We've not played well yet and we've won three games," admitted Wane. "We'll click soon.

"We didn't have much of a pre-season - our half-backs George Williams and Matty Smith didn't train with each other.

"Hull are a very good attacking team and we'll need to improve this week."

Hull FC: Bowden, Ellis, Green, Houghton, Logan, Manu, Michaels, Minichiello, Naughton, Pritchard, Pryce, Shaul, Sneyd, Talanoa, Taylor, Thompson, Tuimavave, Washbrook, Watts.

Wigan Warriors: Bateman, Burke, Charnley, Clubb, Farrell, Flower, Gelling, Gildart, Gregson, Manfredi, Mossop, O'Loughlin, Powell, Sarginson, Smith, Sutton, Tautai, Tierney, Williams.

St Helens v Castleford (KO 8pm)

St Helens coach Keiron Cunningham has called up forward Greg Richards in place of the injured Andre Savelio while Theo Fages and Morgan Knowles will by vying for a spot on the bench following the one-match ban handed to Travis Burns.

Forward Gadwin Springer hopes to make his first appearance of the season for Castleford after being called up in place of the injured Oliver Holmes while Australian outside back Jy Hitchcox keeps his place after his try scoring Super League debut in the win at Hull.

Cunningham is expecting a tough battle from the Tigers, especially after they ended Hull's 100 per cent record a
week ago.

"I know Castleford's record here isn't great but you will see a different side this week," Cunningham said. "They went to Hull, who have started like a house on fire, and laid the gauntlet down.

"On their day they can really hurt you and we will have to be physically ready for the game."
