FWIW, you will win by 10 points minimum tonight in my opinion. Leeds aint nothing special, and we should of beat them first day of the season which was our own imbecilic actions which cost us mainly ( and some very dubious reffing!)

Get your D right, be aggressive and you will snuff there attack. Cut the ball getting out to the backline or at least on the front foot and you should win, as i believe most teams can score tries against Leeds defence this year.

I want Leeds to win, so you guys will still be around is battling, however my head and my wallet are on FC! Enjoy the game folks.

first game for me tonight..so looking forward to what I think will be a close battle. actually hard to call imo . i don't think Leeds are going to run away with it and we certainly could nick it if we are tight in D
not too many points..going for 20-18 to us.
Hoping Michaels plays and if his head is clear to score his first club try.
Attendance 12.5k ish..
Thought it was going to rain..the transition from the weather in the south this morning was considerable when I arrived..lol

Short turnaround won't help us if we have a couple struggling with knocks but if we defend like we did against wire we can win

Thompson, Sa and Green out
Shaul, Feka and Abdull in

Jamie Shaul
Tom Lineham
Fetuli Talanoa
Kirk Yeaman
Steve Michaels
Leon Pryce
Marc Sneyd
Mickey Paea
Danny Houghton
Josh Bowden
Gareth Ellis
Mark Minichiello
Joe Westerman

Feka Paleaaesina
Liam Watts
Jordan Abdull
Jordan Rankin

Good side, Jordan Thompson and Chris Green both dropped out, Thompson is an injury, Green is unknown. Also Sa is out with an injury.

Thompson not dropped, injured according to smailes

That would be an absolute shocking decision if he was to have been dropped, the best player on the field at the Salford game. Hopefully he will be back for Wigan!

Wonder what the thought is behind Abdull and Rankin both on the bench.

Shame about Thompson but dropping Green for Feka was the right decision

Apart from Turgut, Abdul is the only fit backrower remaining.. Rankin can cover 1-7 & maybe 9..

Would prefer Michaels at left centre & Yeaman switched to right centre....

Hull look terrific at the moment. Fast, powerful and fiery. Great stuff!

Hull very good, Leeds very bad.

Leeds are sure to up a gear or two the question is can we match it , get Micky P re-signed ASAP or someone else will , he's an absolout beast who never takes a backward step !!!! COYH

Keep meeting like with like and we win. Fall away in intensity and we lose. Simple as that.

PS why don't they give everyone in the Sky studio a Leeds cheerleader outfit.

Agreed, give him a new contract.
Only thing I would like him to change (but why would he listen to me??) is to occasionally find the floor quicker. He is so intent on getting the legs driving forward that the rest of the opposition defensive line is already set by the time the tackle is complete. Would like to see him sometimes just hit the floor early and get a quick play the ball.
