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 groups 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 very first time after team-mate Jack Sinfield had seen a shot dismissed for obstruction.


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


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


Tate shines as Hull's struggles continue


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


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


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


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


Sinfield had a first rating for his brand-new side dismissed for a blockage but 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 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 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.


Interchanges: Bell, Cust, Lisone, Sao.
