Leeds away : Sat Jul 13, 2019 6:57 am  

As Come On You Ull has said, Raynor and King were in the squad last time we won at Headingley. With the biggest game of the season coming up a few days later I could see us resting some e.g. Sneyd. The problem is we could really do with the points as it looks like 6 in the mix for a play off spot now and our points difference won't do us any favours in the event of a tie. Would be a shame to miss out on Top 5 now, albeit many of us never really expected to be in this position.

Any news on the injury list - Kelly, Ellis, Savelio, Griffin etc?

I'd freshen things up a bit and bring in the likes of Lane and Brown.

Hopefully the injured players mentioned above will be back,allowing us to rest some of the backrow, who are looking tired.

Should be winning this one, but our erratic form and record at Leeds doesn't fill me with confidence

Leeds fans have always had it as 2 points cert before the game. Would love to shut that up.

Realistically this is a game we should be winning but how many times have we said that before and then turned in a lack lustre performance.
Rovers were good in their victory last night and I'd expect more of the same from us next week.
Top 5 is crucial for me and I would not look at resting players for the cup. League points are more valuable then putting all our eggs in a cup basket, especially with positions 3 to 5 being so tight. I'd rather be in the grand final hunt this season.
I'm expecting a victory, non of this hoodo bollox, this is our best chance of a victory at Headingly with Leeds being so poor.
Again all depends on which Hull side turns up though doesn't it.

So glad we don’t have to wait for squad news before we post our opinions

Think we might win this one. Leeds played awful last night and can't see them playing as bad next week. Saying that we due a win. COYH

Re: Leeds away : Sat Jul 13, 2019 9:27 am  

Seriously
If we don’t win this then LR can do one

Re: Leeds away : Sat Jul 13, 2019 9:41 am  

After last nights Rovers game Phil Clarke said Leeds need to work on their attack. They scored 4 tries but conceded 6. I hope they listen to his advice and don’t worry about the defence.

would resist resting anybody! after the second half performance last thursday, the players need to show they can improve

with wigan, cas and catalan breathing down our necks, a top 3 finish could become trickier if we send a weakened squad and lose!

fwiw, resting players doesnt always work! remember our 2017 semi final v leeds? leeds rested the vast majority of their squad the week before.......

Totally agree, while the cup game is another target, the position we finish in the playoffs “hopefully” is paramount. Try and finish as high as possible, then the week after next, focus on a Wembley return.

Come on yu ullaaa.
