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?
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
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.

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.
