Hull are facing an early injury crisis with half their pack already ruled out of the opening Betfred Super League game at Wakefield on February 13.
Prop Scott Taylor is a long-term injury absentee who has been joined on the sidelines by new signing Kane Evans and back rower Manu Ma’u after they picked up injuries in pre-season. Ma’u is likely to miss at least the first month of the season with a hamstring issue, while Evans injured a pectoral muscle in last weekend’s behind-closed-doors training game against London Broncos.
