I don't know what they're basing it on, we have a great recent record against you, are higher in the league, and rested most of the team last week. They are not in the business of losing money, so they have maybe just gone with a gut feeling. One thing is for sure, on paper it's a cracker and I can't wait till Saturday. I've a feeling there will be some very sore bodies amongst the Leeds team on Sunday morning. Let's just hope they're laughing through the pain.
I'm surprised too but our side has more big game experience recently and to some people that will give us the mental edge.

In fairness, the majority of our team are treble winners, and I'd be surprised if a lack of big game experience affected us. The only player I'd point a finger at for been a bit flaky at the moment would be Tom Briscoe, and I'm hoping he catches the first high ball for everyone's sake.

I said recently. Some might argue that your spell in the middle 8s was character building. Or that your defeat of Featherstone demonstrates that you know not to underestimate teams. I don't know, I was just trying to guess what the bookies might be thinking.
I agree with you though. I think your side has a lot of experience and if the hunger is still there then it will give you the advantage.

I believe Hull were given some of Leeds allocation due to more demand

Erm, no you haven't, don't be soft. You might have sold 7-8000 and Leeds 4000 - 6000 so yes you will have more fans but come on mate, talk sense!!! And yes the other part of my family are Hull fans and yes I am in one stand they are in another and even they laughed when I said 10 000 to them

It appears that we have 1 full side, 1 full end and half the other side and you have one end and half a side but it's not clear

Hope they sing 'you only sing when your fishing', like they did last week. That one cracks me up every time. West Yorkshireites have such a great sense of humour.
