Have to admit that is more or less what usually happens when we play you.

Last year at your place 0-0 after 60 minutes we still lose 30-6.This year at our place we were 18-4 in the first half and then 30-16 well into the second half.......lost 30-40. Always there seems to be a couple of tries right at the death to make it look worse than it was.

Shows the scale of our task, even when we play really really well you still find a way to turn things round Leeds never give up and have the quality to score at any time.

Obviously I'm hoping we can last the pace this time and spring a surprise. I wouldn't put my mortgage on it but maybe Leeds will have a blip sometime this season you have been pretty well untroubled for ages and that can't last forever.

I think people consistanly forget how good that Hull team was around at time. Yeah Leeds were favourites but Hull were 3rd in the table before the Semi final (after that they lost 4 of their last 6 to finish 5th), finished 3rd in 2004 and 2nd in 2006 and GF runners up.

Now, not to disrespect HKR but they've clearly been a 7th-9th placed kinda team for a few years now. Their's a significant difference in our opposition this year compared to 2005.

Also significantly the coach is different. Tony Smith has a habit of losing cup games to underdogs

2015 Semi vs HKR
2013 Semi vs HFC
2006 Semi vs Hudds
2005 Final vs HFC
2003 4th vs Hunslet (whilst coach at Hudds)

I'm going 34-18 to Leeds for the record.

Not a million miles away

I think I got this one about right
