Toulouse Olympique v Hull FC: Andy Last determined to reward departing players for service
Andy Last has called on Hull FC to send their departing players out on a high in the final two rounds of the campaign.
The Black and Whites sit in Super League's bottom four after failing to build on a positive first season under John Cartwright.
But Last, who took over from Cartwright on an interim basis in April, insists Hull are still highly motivated for their remaining games against Toulouse Olympique and Leeds Rhinos.
"This group of players is coming to an end," he said as the club prepare to bid farewell to the likes of Tom Briscoe, Ligi Sao and Brad Fash.
"We've been on a bit of a journey together over the last two years. There are some guys who have contributed significantly and we want to make sure we go out the right way with some strong performances; we don't want to go out with a whimper.
"Hopefully those strong performances get us wins."
Friday's clash at Stade Ernest Wallon marks the end of Toulouse's home campaign.
The French side have defied all expectations in their first season back in Super League, winning nine games despite being on half the central funding of most of their rivals.
Last is hoping Hull can rain on their parade.
"We're looking forward to the challenge," he said.
"They're a very dangerous team and play a very expansive brand of rugby so we'll need to be good defensively.
"It's their last home game and we're expecting a bit of a carnival atmosphere. We want to be the party poopers and get two points."
