Hull FC will be without Jed Cartwright for Saturday's Super League fixture against Salford Red Devils. The Black and Whites back rower has been suspended by the RFL's Match Review Panel for his late hit on Leeds Rhinos half-back Brodie Croft, with the Australian forward sin-binned at the time.

Cartwright will now sit out for one match after receiving a Grade C Dangerous Contact charge. The sin bin was the first of two yellow cards on the night, with the 27-year-old also sent for ten more minutes late in the game for a professional foul.

He will be available again for Hull's final game of the season against Catalans Dragons. The game will be the forward's home debut, having featured at Leigh Leopards, Wigan Warriors, Leeds Rhinos, and the Magic Weekend game against London so far. He missed the club's last home game against Castleford Tigers to a HIA.
