Hull FC (10) 10


Tries: Martin 2 Goals: Hardaker


Wakefield Trinity battled 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 matched by ratings 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 shot ruled out for blockage.


The Black and Whites did not threaten the Trinity try-line afterwards 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 2 wins and two defeats for the campaign.


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 allowed to leave on thoughtful grounds 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 begin Martin got the visitors on the with a try out the left edge before Tate crossed for his first.


Ill-discipline from Trinity skipper Mike McMeeken offered Hull FC great field position and Martin dotted down in comparable fashion for his 2nd shot.


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


Sinfield had a first rating for his new side dismissed for an obstruction however Tate quickly crossed for what showed 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 but Hull hardly even crossed the midway line let alone 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 take a trip to Leigh a week on Saturday.


Wakefield: Rourke; Tate, Hall, Pratt, Myers; Trueman, Sinfield; McMeeken, Smith, Rodwell, Nikotemo, Vagana, Tevaga.


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


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