It will be a much closer game and I wouldn't be surprised to see us win it on the back of a massive 80 minutes of effort.

Agreed, much like the effort we gave against the dobbins.

I don't see how the original poster can be 100% confident.

Leeds gifted you a few tries with sloppy passing.

But it will be a different game alltogether. Hull will be fired up, at home, will have a few more troops back maybe?

It's do or die so both teams will tighten up in defence. Expect a much closer, lower scoring game.

You have to remember that leeds have made it their personal mission in recent seasons to perform and win in the big games and although this is CC and not the playoffs I think leeds will come out guns blazing early doors to try and blow hull away and kill the contest. If they don't get the start they want expect a very close game, which is what i think we'll have.

Long will not be back on Saturday I'm sure of that.

I regard the fact that the club has not given any indication of when he will be back as bad news rather than good.

I'm more confident that we'll beat Leeds than win them.

Or mind games (or Longy has a bet on Saturday's game )

what?

Read the title of the thread. I think Chris28 is a member of the grammar police but he is quite correct.

Rhinos board posts suggest they'll have Peacock back for Sat, not good news for us, but I reckon with the players we'll have returning, we should 'do em' good n' proper, longy or no longy

Glad to see their injury crisis is over.

Nothing more than another gallant defeat I`m afraid to say.
With no quality "general" and Leeds hitting form things don`t look good.

Just watched the highlights..

Hall's defence is shocking he is just running around like a headless chicken

Senior completed owned him, why am I not surprised!!

We could aslo say the same thing, apart from 20 mins sloppy defending we were in with a shout of the match. We switched off for 20 mins at the beginning of the 2nd half and you did at the end of the second half.

That's the big danger, Leeds know how to win big games and have the experience, we don't. I expect it to be close but think Leeds will nick it.
