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.

Disagree - he's at his best when using his leg drive. He wouldn't make the same impact without it and wouldn't draw so many defenders in, and therefore out, of position.

Oh FFS.

What the hell was Westerman doing then ?

And they're in again.

Concentration lost at half time. We'll struggle to win this now - Leeds will have their tails up.

40 minutes hard work chucked away with 5 minutes of slack defending. That's poor.

Did someone spike the half-time drinks? This is a completely different side to the one that went in.

Leeds up their intensity and speed and we can't cope.
Absolutely shocking display.

I am willing to say game over.
Still in it score wise but we won't be for much longer. Getting completely overrun now. A great 40 minutes soon gone to waste.

Game over. Left hand edge beaten all ends up for pace. Oh well.

Last pass was a mile forward, mind.

pathetic

Disgusting.

I'd take Westerman off and play with 12 players.

This is going to be embarrassing.

Fo0king shocking display. Embarrassing defence and back resorting to one out rugby. 2nd half cricket score I can see against us.

Some appalling defensive reads and people jumping out the line. It's basics. Three tries from players rushing out and leaving huge holes, and when Gareth Ellis is one of the guys responsible you know you are in trouble.
