Hull FC’s top points scorer Danny Tickle has failed in his bid to recover from a dead leg injury and will miss Sunday’s engage Super League game against Bradford Bulls at the Grattan Stadium (3pm).  

Tickle, Garreth Carvell (groin) and Adam Dykes (quad) are all casualties from last weekend’s game against Huddersfield Giants at the KC.

Hull are also missing Great Britain winger Gareth Raynor who was suspended for one match after being found guilty of a reckless tackle on Huddersfield’s Chris Thorman by the RFL disciplinary committee.

It is only the third game Tickle has missed this season and in the 26 he has played in the second rower has scored seven tries, kicked 93 goals and scored 214 points.

The latest crop of injuries means Hull will be without eight senior players for their clash with the Bulls.

They do have New Zealand Test star Motu Tony back after missing the last 15 games with a knee ligament injury.

Out injured or suspended: Raynor, R Horne, Dykes, Carvell, Tickle, Whiting, King, Byrne.

Hull FC squad: Berrigan, Briscoe, Broughton, Burnett, Cusack, Dowes, Hall, Houghton, G Horne, Lee, Manu, Radford, Sing, Tony, Thackray, Washbrook, Wheeldon, Yeaman
