Cup agony for Arundel

Hull centre Joe Arundel is set to miss the Challenge Cup final against Wigan because of a hand injury.

The former Castleford man sustained the problem in last week's win over Salford, but had not been officially ruled out by the injury-hit Black and Whites.

However, a Tweet from the 21-year-old read: "To all people asking I fractured my hand Friday and will be getting an op today to fix it. Thanks for all the support! #Gutted"
