Former Leeds Rhinos duo Brad Dwyer and Liam Sutcliffe have been named in Hull FC's 21-man-squad for Friday night's game. The Airlie Birds head to Headingley making just the one change with young winger Harvey Barron coming in for Ligi Sao.
Sao's dead leg is still causing him issues and Hull, now coached by former Rhinos boss Tony Smith, aren't prepared to take any risks so early on in the season. However, Andre Savelio and Jack Brown are named in the side with Davy Litten also included.
Smith revealed to the media on Tuesday that Savelio is likely to feature, with the back-rower very close to playing a part in the home opener. Jack Brown was also pushing to be included after recovering from a shoulder operation in the off-season and again is in contention to play with a long season ahead.
