Looking forward to this one, Watkins not in Leeds squad, Jack Walker back.
Can we keep Hurrel quiet, close to call, what’s the odds for a draw after eighty minutes.

25/1

Cheers WIZEB I’ll put my 50p on.

Tag back? So I'm guessing the reserves fixture counts as one of his banned games? Good to see Ellis selected again even with Tag back.

Leeds have looked awful defensively, but they do have plenty of ability in attack. I think if we have at least equal share of possession, then we'll win this one.

My biggest concern is the short turn around of only 5 days for us, which may bring fatigue and so comes errors.

Long time since our home fans have seen us win, no better way to put that right then by beating Leeds.

Come on ye Hull

.

No problemo.
Great if we could win our next two home games then it's all guns blazing down to London.
Trains and hotel booked in Ealing.
Could get messy.

decent squad so am going for a hull win,

Well it’s been a long time between drinks since we won at home, come on lads.

I've been critical of Paea this season as up until Huddersfield he had just not performed anywhere near the level of what is required. Having said that his performance at Huddersfield was good to see at last. So would go with

1. Shaul
2. Faraimo
3. Carlos
4. Griffin
5. Naulago
6. Kelly
7. Sneyd
8. Taylor
9. Houghton
10. Paea/Masi
11. Manu
12. Mini
13. Westy

Masi/Paea
Ellis
Lane
Litten/Hadley

This is a disgrace, how can he use up a ban from reserve games, can Leeds count Fev’s games if any of ours get banned

Gone fishing.

Try running a reserve team then you can get away with it.

Well said that man.

You're absolutely right to fear Taylor.

Taylor will want to rip it up, just hope he doesn't get too over excited!

Not sure which is more of a disgrace, that you don't know the operational laws of the game or that you consider a comparison of one player to another as being racist.

Definitely the latter, and really the racism post should have been Sir Kevin Sinfields swan song.

No don't get rid,every site should have at least one visiting idiot.

No Litten last night and not in the squad today. Is he hurt?

Or is this a secret plan to surprise everyone when he is picked at fullback?

What do you mean not in the squad today? He was named in the 19 yesterday?

Reckon we'll (Leeds) struggle with this one.

Bit of wind in you sails with 2 wins on the spin. Sneyd will pin us back all night and as we have seen on several occasions this year we simply cannot clear our lines when we need to.

Right edge as everyone saw is a concern for us and we've gone without Watkins this week as he's apparently struggled with his knee this week. Which I can believe considering how he was trampled all over by Tupou at the weekend. Not sure whether we'll go with youth in Newman or move Sutcliffe out to centre and see Ablett come back in. Either way I can't see that edge suddenly looking solid any time soon. Sutcliffe not really hitting any heights for us and Ablett hasn't played for months and even when he was, he was showing signs of slowing down.

What's the story with Ellis? Will he just be playing for as long as he needed? Did I see somewhere that you had players out of your squad playing elsewhere this weekend? Picking Ellis in front of anyone that was in your squad at the start of the year doesn't seem to tally- in the short term absolutely it does but in the long term not so much.

He's in the squad announced yesterday.

3 props injured + taylor ban + others returning after very long layoffs.

So he is. That's a relief.

I've just bought my first pair of reading glasses but I'm still in denial and won't wear them.

Did you buy them from Mr. Zucchini Head?
