I dont think I've seen Leeds play so badly in the SL era. So putn that along with yet more injuries and Hull FC win with ease. Turn up and enjoy your party.
I'm not buying it
I wish I could say I was optimistic, but years and years of going to Headingley and walking away disappointed has taken it's toll.
Looking at form, taking into account Leeds' injuries - it should be a Hull win, but I feel Leeds still have enough to win it should FC turn up with the wrong attitude or have an off day.

Prudently optimistic about Friday at Headingley, but I am fully aware that Leeds will bounce back at some point and anything other then a 100% committed performance will see us return home with nothing.

Same here, but only if he's 100%. We can't afford to lose him for a number of matches. I'd sooner we were sensible and gave him another week if he's not quite ready.

Leeds are going to win again sooner or later. Please don't let it be tomorrow. If we do what we've been doing since Easter Monday we'll be ok but if we are off our game it could end badly.
First there was wisdom Then there was knowledge Now there is only information
weather says rain on the bbc website but when you run the weather movements through the map it stays away from headingley! fingers crossed it does as it will be a leveller in leeds favour if it does rain
Hope we go with the same attitude as if we were facing a full strength Leeds team. Very dangerous if not. They've still got enough strike players to win any game.
So we are/could be without tuimavave, ellis, mini and shaul? I know leeds have some injuries too but they're pretty important players for us. Could be a lot tougher than some are imagining
