Preview: Hull v Harlequins (Round
4)

Hull are without Nathan Blacklock as they look to get back to winning ways at home to engage Super League bottom side Harlequins.

Blacklock is sidelined with a knee injury but Paul Cooke is available despite a court appearance on Monday. Coach John Kear is boosted by the return to fitness of Ewan Dowes (hamstring) and Chris Chester (shoulder and quad injuries).

Luke Dorn returns to the Harlequins squad after overcoming a hamstring injury but a similar problem continues to rule out Mark McLinden.

Filimone Lolohea also comes into contention for Tony Rea's side, who are still searching for their first win of the new campaign.
