Decent enough squad. If Cameron Scott is genuinely available then great with no Bower. Thought Nzongou was banned. Seems not. I'd like to see Bastas play this one. Possibly Lawton too but not sure where. I suspect they've named 19 knowing that 2 aren't fit.
Douglas or Spiers starting 2nd row? Possible
Nzoungou is banned for two games according to the RFL. Maybe the bans don't apply to this cup competition? Maybe the ban only applies to the Reserve Championship?
From the RFL website:
Levy Nzoungou - Hull FC
Wakefield v Hull - Reserves Championship

2 Match Penalty Notice
Details of Charge / Reason for NF :

Postscript: Maybe the decision on this case has not yet been reached. Many similar cases listed by the RFL have details of the verdict - not so in this case.
