Broncos v Hull FC: Teams

The London Broncos go in search of just their third Stobart Super League win of the season against Hull FC in Kent on Sunday.

The Broncos are keen to increase their fan base and it will be the first time a top-flight clash has taken place in the county when the teams go head-to-head at Gillingham's Priestfield Stadium.

London's first half of the season has been one to forget, although it has been a different story for the East Yorkshire club who are currently fifth in the table with eight wins from 12 outings.

Broncos boss Rob Powell is without Matt Cook in the wake of last weekend's Carnegie Challenge Cup quarter-final defeat to the Huddersfield Giants.

The Broncos are still without Liam Colbon who is recovering from a successful shoulder reconstruction, Jason Golden who remains absent with a sore neck and ribs and Julien Rinaldi who continues his recovery from ankle ligament damage.

Impact

Powell is keen for his troops to end the second half of the campaign on a high: "We have half a season left to make an impact in the Super League and this starts on Sunday.

"We need to have a big response after last week and the game on the road at Gillingham gives us the opportunity to do this."

The visitors will be without star centre Kirk Yeaman after suffering a recurrence of the foot injury that has plagued him all season.

Youngster Ben Crooks will be the favourite to retain his position at left centre following an impressive display against champions Leeds Rhinos in Yeaman's absence.

But the 19-year-old will face stiff competition from Aussie veteran Tony Martin, with Jordan Turner taking the second starting berth.

Martin returned to full training this week from a neck injury that kept him sidelined for a month, but his return is still not guaranteed and FC are monitoring his progress before deciding if he will play.

London Broncos squad: Bailey, B. Bolger, Bryant, Caro, Channing, Clubb, Dixon, Dorn, Gower, Howell, Kaufusi, Melling, O'Callaghan, Randall, Rodney, Robertson, Sarginson, Wheeldon, Witt.

Hull squad: Aspinwall, T. Briscoe, Crooks, Horne, Houghton, Kent, Lynch, Manu, Moa, Nicklas, O'Carroll, Pitts, Russell, Sharp, Seymour, Tickle, Turner, Westerman, Whiting.
