Matt Dale adds to Hull's injury crisis

Matt Dale has become the seventh Black and Whites' player to end up on the treatment table.

Dale joins Shaun Berrigan, Richard Horne, Garreth Carvell, Ewan Dowes, Willie Manu and Richard Whiting on the sidelines.

Teenage forward Mike Burnett is set to deputise and make his Super League debut against St Helens on Friday night.

And the Black and Whites coach is adamant that he is not concerned about throwing the 19-year-old into the fray.
