Hull FC (10) 10


Tries: Martin 2 Goals: Hardaker


Wakefield Trinity fought to a hard-fought Super League win over injury-hit Hull FC.


The teams entered level at the break with Lewis Martin's double for the away side matched by scores by Will Tate and Oliver Pratt.


Tate's second put the hosts in front for the very first time after team-mate Jack Sinfield had actually seen a shot ruled out for blockage.


The Black and Whites did not threaten the Trinity try-line thereafter and have actually now lost their last three Super League video games this season, having actually won the opener versus Bradford Bulls.


Wakefield made it two wins and two beats for the project.


Tate shines as Hull's struggles continue


Hull FC had full-back Will Pryce eliminated for the season last week, went back to Australia at the weekend after being enabled to leave on compassionate premises and it has actually been reported that back-rower Jed Cartwright could now be out for five months with a hamstring injury.


In an even start Martin got the visitors on the scoreboard with a try out the left edge before Tate crossed for his first.


Ill-discipline from Trinity skipper Mike McMeeken offered Hull FC good field position and Martin dotted down in comparable style for his second try.


It appeared like that would suffice for the away side to lead at the break however Davy Litten stopped working to deal with a high kick on the last play of the half and Pratt snatched the loose ball up to send the groups in level.


Sinfield had a first rating for his new side dismissed for a blockage however Tate quickly crossed for what proved to be the winning rating after quick hands from Corey Hall put him over in the corner.


There was still over 20 minutes to play but Hull hardly even crossed the halfway line not to mention put pressure on the home try-line.


Wakefield face Leeds Rhinos in the Challenge Cup next Friday, while Hull FC likewise face a Super League opponent when they travel to Leigh a week on Saturday.

Interchanges: Scott, Pitts, Hamlin-Uele, Faatili.


Hull FC: Litten; Briscoe, Hardaker, Romano, Martin; Arthur, Sezer; Aydin, Bourouh, Hill, Fash, Bailey, Asiata.
