Hull FC will be desperate to get back to winning ways when they travel to Castleford Tigers on Thursday (kick-off 7.45pm).

Here’s our preview.

Opinion
Hull FC are facing up to the fact that it will take a monumental effort to reach the play-offs from their current position with just eight games remaining.

It’s possible, but the math dictates Hull will need to win every single one of their remaining fixtures to give themselves a chance and even that might not be enough.

Add to that the fact FC have St Helens, Wigan Warriors, an away trip to Catalans Dragons, Leeds Rhinos and Hull KR remaining on their fixture list and you get an idea about the size of the challenge they have left themselves.

However, that doesn’t mean the win isn’t important this week against the Tigers, who share an identical record with Hull and as such find themselves in the exact same boat.

FC’s pride has been dented over what has been a challenging couple of weeks and they’ll be eager to restore it in some way with a win at Wheldon Road.

Scott Taylor returns and the prop forward promises to give the Black and Whites character and leadership, while Marc Sneyd will also be involved in the halves after missing the loss to Salford through precaution.

Last will be looking to those senior men to inspire a positive performance on a ground which Hull have found success at in recent years.

Sneyd’s kicking game will be vital in controlling the game, while a big effort from the club’s forwards is absolutely vital.
