Tries: Tate 2, Pratt Goals: Sinfield
Hull FC (10) 10
Tries: Martin 2 Goals: Hardaker
Wakefield Trinity fought to a hard-fought Super League win over injury-hit Hull FC.
The teams went in level at the break with Lewis Martin's double for the away side matched by scores by Will Tate and Oliver Pratt.
Tate's 2nd put the hosts in front for the first time after team-mate Jack Sinfield had actually seen a try dismissed for obstruction.
The Black and Whites did not threaten the Trinity try-line thereafter and have actually now lost their last 3 Super League video games this season, having actually won the opener against Bradford Bulls.
Wakefield made it 2 wins and two beats for the campaign.
Tate shines as Hull's struggles continue
Hull FC had full-back Will Pryce eliminated for the season recently, Liam Knight returned to Australia at the weekend after being allowed to leave on and it has been reported that back-rower Jed Cartwright could now be out for 5 months with a hamstring injury.
In an even start Martin got the visitors on the scoreboard with a try out the left edge before Tate crossed for his very first.
Ill-discipline from Trinity skipper Mike McMeeken gave Hull FC great field position and Martin dotted down in similar style for his 2nd shot.
It looked like that would suffice for the away side to lead at the break however Davy Litten failed to handle a high kick on the last play of the half and Pratt snatched the loose ball up to send the groups in level.
Sinfield had a very first rating for his new side ruled out for a blockage but Tate soon crossed for what showed to be the winning score after quick hands from Corey Hall put him over in the corner.
There was still over 20 minutes to play however Hull hardly even crossed the midway line not to mention put pressure on the home try-line.
Wakefield face Leeds Rhinos in the Challenge Cup next Friday, while Hull FC also deal with a Super League opponent when they travel to Leigh a week on Saturday.
