Hull have great prospects in the back line with Shoal, Lineham, Crooks, Arundle and Crookes all young and very able to perform at this level. Arundle has had a mixed start at Hull but if they stick with him they'll get a very good centre partnership.

Looking at Holdsworth and Miller partnership it could become one of the best. I know Horne is having a good season but Miller has to come in and put his name on that team sheet.

I think Hull could do some damage in the playoffs this year but Wigan are a class above with Warrington not so far behind. Yes they've not fired this year up to now but let's be honest, Leeds haven't for the past couple of years yet still won the title!

Peter Gentle needs to start working on the attack IMO. I know tries were bombed out there both this week and last but that's just it, in the big finals these points will matter and teams like Wigan and Warrington won't be so forgiving.

As for international honours, Sinfield should be nowhere near. I know what he offers with his leadership...etc. I just want to see players with more skills than he has in his position. The Aussies and Kiwis not to mention the PNG side are all big units and our pack should have at least 3 props on the pitch to start the game. That leaves no room for a Sinfield type loose.

While we're on about Hull, Danny Houghton is really ripping it up again. He is mainly known for his defence but his attack and kicking game isn't too shabby either. I am a big fan of Josh Hodgson, Micky Mac and McShane but if Roby can hit some form now back from injury and Houghton can continue his impressive couple of seasons then I can't see two better options to face the World Cup later this year.

Hard for a Rovers fan to admit but if Hull can keep a hold of these young lads and replace the aging players with some big tough forwards then I think they'll be up there challenging for years to come.

Hope not, but every dog has it's day they say!!!

Just because your players aren't tall enough to out jump Lineham or fast enough to catch Crooks doesn't mean you "gifted" us a try.

Hull nilled you other than the try they gifted you so we won 6 nil

Yes, I know that. But with four points from the games in hand, we'd be fourth. Which is why I said 'with our games in hand'



No, but the fact that there was no cover defence, and the kick was nowhere near close enough to your line does.



Well done on completely missing the point.

Very simply, the obituaries of Leeds' season are incredibly premature. We're carrying lots of injuries through the most difficult run of fixtures in our calendar and are still doing better than we were last year, when we finished as champions. Given that even McGuire is fifty-fifty to be back for the playoffs, I think you'd be incredibly foolish to write of Leeds' season at this stage.

You do realise you'd have to win these games before you get the 4 points don't you?

Ah bless!! Nobody else has any injuries then or has some witch put a curse on you so that you can't win from 5th again. Never mind you'll have to try and win it from 8th.
