To be fair, Cobb seems pretty confident in his ability and doesn't rely on the VR as much some appear to.

What's your travelling support been like this season ? I'm surprised at how poor your home crowds have been considering how well your team is playing.

Pretty good.

We'll see on Friday. Our attendances have been great considering the tripe being served up, over 15,000 for our relegation battle with your nearest and dearest a couple of weeks back. Should be a good crowd and decent atmosphere if you bring a few on Friday.

Cool, did they fill the West Terrace? Here are our fans at St Helens , a trip twice as far on a Friday evening.

We'll take more to Leeds than they bring to us. As usual.

I'm confident but not over confident , don't think we can be considering our record against them . Be nice to finally get a win over them , even if it's by a few points . Ok there playing poor with no confidence and have injuries, but it's not a gimmy.

Laura will no doubt be pleased to hear you call HER him

Tell Laura we love her.

Anyone have an idea how many tickets we have sold. I bought 6 on Monday and my son's first trip to leeds away, hoping for a good following and a cracking atmosphere

I'm not sure that Hull have ever had a better chance to beat Leeds, like they do on Friday. Cant wait...

Only problem is, I'm getting taken by a finance company and I'm having to sit in the Leeds Main stand

We mustn't be complacent, that is a risk.

I don't think we will, it all depends on which Leeds team turns up on the night.

We brought 10 thousand aswell

no maguire on friday night so thats one less official to worry about lol www.therhinos.co.uk/news/mcguire ... w5LmDArLIU

We have sold at least 1,000 tickets Hull FC tweeted this morning

Mcguire ruled out.

No Minichello, Ellis or Tuimavave but still strong squad

Hull FC squad: Bowden, Fonua, Green, Hadley, Houghton, Manu, Michaels, Naughton, Palea'aesina, Pritchard, Pryce, Shaul, Sneyd, Talanoa, Taylor, Thompson, Watts, Washbrook, Yeaman.

I'd be tempted to go with

Shaul
Naughton
Yeaman
Fonua
Michaels
Pryce
Sneyd
Taylor
Houghton
Watts
Manu
Hadley
Washy

Pritchard
Bowden
Thompson
Talanoa/Green

Balls! Would have been good to have Ellis and Mini back - I think that would have got us the win as I don't think Leeds would be able to handle our physicality.

Might be a close game - or Leeds finally find their form and hand us our ar5es

Washy at 6 then. Says a lot about what Radford thinks of Abdull this year.

Edit: Missed the return of Pryce. Scrap that!

Yeah putting out a strong squad. Obviously they are doing rubbish and basically two thirds of their first team are injured but it is still Leeds. Still be tough but I think we have to be looking at a win, close though 6-8 points in it.

Pryce is back so would think he'll go straight back in at 6

Yep! Completely missed he was in the squad... I thought we'd got Karl in on a short term loan

Ellis will play he can be drafted into the squad anytime.

Shaul
Naughton
Yeaman
Fonua
Michaels
Pryce
Sneyd
Taylor
Houghton
Watts
Manu
Ellis
Washy

Pritchard
Bowden
Thompson
Hadley

thought you might have done

Still a strong squad and should be more than good enough to get the win, its these sort of games we have to start winning regularly if we are to become serious top 4 challengers. Play for 80 mins and with the right mental attitude we should have enough to win, won't be easy as Leeds wont just roll over so we can't take the game lightly.
