We had 9 injured in the win over Warrington, and 5 or 6 out in the wins over Saints and Huddersfield. From the sounds of it, Ellis, Minichiello and Pryce could all be back - although if only 1 returns I hope it is Ellis. He is on a mission this season - the hits against Saints were relentless and we show a definite increase in intensity when he plays, which we will need on Friday. Still fancy you guys for the win. I have been to Headingley too many times being hopeful and come away despondent

season over - end of

McGuire has injured his quad in Salford game but played 60 minutes with the injury. 50/50 for Friday. Could be down to 15 first teamers.

give the kids a go and pass the ball not try run through a brick wall

Wow you are doing it tough this year. It's normally us is that kind of situation.

I will certainly fancy our chances more if hes not playing, although if he does play and isn't right that might be even more of an advantage. I've still spent far too many miserable nights on the west terrace to take anything for granted though.

If Hull don't win on Friday then they won't get a better chance.

Leeds' one chance is I've not backed them in the weekly prediction comp and they currently only appear to do the opposite.

Some of the critics don't regard our injuries as much of a problem and anyway a new coach will soon have them all back and in good form. Piece of cake!

I agree with what the other Hull fan said, everything points to an FC win, your injuries, apparent lack of leadership, our form. BUT, too many miserable rainy nights on The Western Terrace still leave that niggle that you guys will sneak it. McGuire not playing would be a huge boost for us as he's been devastating over the years against FC.

He's probably worried about Sneyd trying to finish the job he started last year and break his ankle with another crocodile roll.

He would probably be fit again the week after like last year

interesting.I've backed them every week so far too, probably why i am doing as badly this year as Leeds are in SL

You mean when he missed the next weeks game?

Poor taste.

Leeds have scored only 156 points in SL, averaging less than 16 points per game. In last 2 games only scored 10 in each. Amazingly, Wigan have second lowest total with 186. hull are playing with lots of movement on attack added to their power, I can't see how Leeds can restrict hull to less than 20 and expect they will get well over 30. Therefore i am likely to bet big on hull. This may be the only way to get Leeds going this season, as whenever I do this it usually means Leeds produce an Unexpected display. If only 15 first teamers are available, Fc could get 50. Taylor and watts worry me as a platform, they are both young mobile and in case of watts have real pace. If they get on top with houghton, it could be grim.
