Hull team

Shaul, Colbon, Talanoa, Yeaman, Lancaster, Rankin, Miller, Paea, Houghton, Watts, Ellis, Hadley, Westerman

Interchanges: Thompson, Heremaia, Sa, Paleaaesina

Weak, we're in for a bumming

Shaul apart that backline looks poor and against the best backline In super league

Don't fancy our chances. I'm glad Lancaster is getting a chance but I'd rather see Shaul, Talanoa, Crooks, Sa, Lancaster.

Personally not convinced by there pack or bench, doesn't look amazing, backs world class though and if they spread in wide fast we are in for a long night.

Weather might do us a favour and keep it close.

Matching the up front looks possible, but as everybody knows, their back line is fantastic. We will struggle once they get it out wide.
Good to see another academy debutant. He can't Let it get to him if he has a poor game. Leeds backs can make any winger look average. He sure is in for a baptism of fire.

Leeds:

Hardaker, Briscoe, Watkins, Moon, Hall, Sinfield, McGuire, Leuluai, R Ward, Singleton, Ablett, Achurch, Clarkson

Interchanges: Kirke, Sutcliffe, Delaney, S Ward

very poor selection in the backs.radford has lost the plot.
You don't debut a 17 year old rookie against big strong wingers like Hall and Briscoe.
Would have been better to leave Talanoa on the wing and bring Sa in to start at right centre and that would leave room for another forward substitute

There's a big thunderstorm passing through at present. If this continues the game will be a lottery.

Happy to see him sticking with rankin and miller, I'm hoping it pays of tonight, still think it could be a decent partnership given time, coyh , time to man up, and prove everyone wrong, including myself. Come on hull

40-12 loss I reckon. Backs are very poor, halves struggling and for some reason out pack is under performing. Luckily for us JP is out.

I think we will get beat, but if the conditions are as bad as they sound I don't see Leeds scoring that many. More like 22-12 imo.

Sounds like a promising start though. Asked a few questions, and defended the goal line a couple of times. Let's hope we keep it up.

Leeds have always excelled against us in the wet and notched up some good scores, it's never the trudge up the middle you expect as you're stood there soaked to the bone.

Makes a change to hear the words Hull, defence and determination in the same sentence.

Sounds like Whinos getting the 50/50s so far. Not a bad start from us at all.
