Brett Hodgson names Hull FC side to face Wigan Warriors as Carlos Tuimavave and Kane Evans miss out

Brett Hodgson has named his line-up to face Wigan Warriors at the DW Stadium with Luke Gale and Darnell McIntosh making their returns.

Gale has missed the last five games through suspension but he comes into the side this evening at scrum-half and he’ll partner Joe Lovodua as Ben McNamara drops out.

McIntosh starts on the wing, with Connor Wynne, who scored a hat-trick last time out against Sheffield Eagles in the Challenge Cup, moving to the bench.

There’s no Carlos Tuimavave, who misses out with a calf injury, while prop Kane Evans isn't included in the side either despite being named in the squad.

The absence of Tuimavave means Mitieli Vulikijapani starts at centre, while Brad Fash and Jack Brown have been given the nod to start on the bench this evening.
