Interesting that Achurch is named in the squad having played last night. We are heavy in the pack at the moment. Should see more game time for Sutcliffe and Singleton though

Just win please very heavily if you don't mind cheers

Singleton and Sutcliffe in the squad [iagain[/i - does McDermott not know the meaning of squad rotation??

T!t!

Kirkes struggling with a hamstring, so may be strugling for Friday.

Should be a good game, could go either way depending on how we come into the game.

I reckon our hit-and-miss form will be the decider - if we come out like we did against Wire, it'll be a cracker with Leeds looking to bounce back.

If we're anything like what we were for 70 minutes against KR, it could be a long night for us.

Are you in the insurance industry? You seem to have covered yourself for every outcome there...

If we play like we did against Huddersfield and Saints we'll lose, if we play like we did against Wigan we'll win.

No matter what team Leeds put out its very unlikely that we lose if we good discipline. I know every team concedes penalties but the timing and needless-ness of quite a lot of ours is very disappointing.

With Childs in the middle I'm certain they'll be a period in the game where he'll ping us quite a few times in quick succession. The last time we had him (vs Wire) we were in control but then in the 2nd half he seemed hell bent on making things close.

Saints the other week, comfortably up then we conceded a few penalties and we let the game slip. The ones vs Wigan at the weekend already debated on another thread. Catalans away, we would've strolled that game had we not been so ill-disciplined, it also the reason we only drew with Bradford and Cas edged us at the death at the start of the season.

My boss at work is convinced that its all a big conspiricy theory and that the ref on TV games are told to try and make the game closer by the use of penalties to make the game look better on TV!!!!!

Hull against wire were very good, was impressed with them. Hull against KR were poor.

Agreed. I still think if we play with the pace, intent and skill we did against Wigan it'll be too much for Hull regardless.

hull fc are such an inconsistent side and you just don't know which game they are gonna bring to the field on game day,but when they're good they can beat anyone but when they're bad they are absolutely terrible
i think we might just sneak this game but in a very close encounter

6 out of 7 league wins inconsistent??

ok we played poop v kr which is the norm and won, played better against wigan, probably better than we did against warrington and lost! last few games before magic weekend we have been consistent

Kc pitch is shocking at one end!

8 out of 16 league wins inconsistent? Yep.

2 wins and 2 draws out of the first 9 games. Just about constantly below par.

Then 6 wins out of the next 7. Consistently above par (even with the game lost v Wigan )

Hardly win, lose, win, lose inconsistency is it?

The only thing FC have been consistent at this season is being inconsistent

i think its great timing for this match. hull will be better then they were against kr. we dont deal with derbies too well, even worse when we are the favourites. n leeds will be typically excellent as they always are vs us. with home advantage with hull fc im thinking it'll be the tightest of games. everyone's staying it the final hooter

been some 2 bit squash tournament held on it for a week so a lot of the pitch didnt get any light. expect a slight improvement for friday. pitch is due for reseeding after the game

Here's hoping for a tardy recovery. Get well soonish Ian

Kirke is playing, singleton keeps his place though

Of course he will be playing carrying an injury it`s what we do with our forwards don`t you know.
So Moore and Clarkson probably to miss out unless Delaney misses this one.

Hood, Keinhorst and Watson have put their hands up for Hunslet in the majority of games, particular those games versus some of the stronger teams, Sheffield, Halifax etc, I am hoping this review of them by the coaching staff gives an opportunity for them to play some games or maybe look at shifting them on a Super League loan if possible as some lower clubs look for injury cover or just some new energy. All three desereved a sustained shot at a SL spot, I hope Leeds keep all three but maybe not from what we have heard.

Get some top level forwards in, let these three lads support the squad in the backs, which was our current strength, we don't need any more big salary cap hits in the backs
