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 went in level at the break with Lewis Martin's double for the away side by scores by Will Tate and Oliver Pratt.


Tate's 2nd put the hosts in front for the first time after team-mate Jack Sinfield had seen a try dismissed for obstruction.


The Black and Whites did not threaten the Trinity try-line thereafter and have actually now lost their last 3 Super League video games this season, having actually won the opener against Bradford Bulls.


Wakefield made it 2 wins and two beats for the project.


Tate shines as Hull's struggles continue


Hull FC had full-back Will Pryce dismissed for the season last week, Liam Knight returned to Australia at the weekend after being permitted to leave on caring premises and it has actually been reported that back-rower Jed Cartwright could now be out for 5 months with a hamstring injury.


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


Ill-discipline from Trinity skipper Mike McMeeken gave Hull FC excellent field position and Martin dotted down in similar fashion for his second shot.


It looked like that would be enough for the away side to lead at the break but Davy Litten failed to handle a high kick on the last play of the half and Pratt took the loose ball up to send the teams in level.


Sinfield had a very first score for his brand-new side ruled out for a blockage but Tate quickly crossed for what proved to be the winning rating after fast hands from Corey Hall put him over in the corner.


There was still over 20 minutes to play however Hull barely even crossed the halfway line let alone put pressure on the home try-line.


Wakefield face Leeds Rhinos in the Challenge Cup next Friday, while Hull FC likewise deal with a Super League challenger when they take a trip 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.
