If they win they'll finish 5th regardless.

What if Hull beat Leeds? God the play-offs are so confusing...

After watching Leeds today,anything could happen.

Will Leeds bounce back with a vengeance,

Will Hull have them on the rack?

All this,and much more in the great game of R.L.

Although Leeds must be worried by some of their injuries.

Plus of course if Rovers win Cas will be sending you all valentines.

hudds will finish 5th even if hull win as they'd finish on the same points as leeds but with a vastly superior points difference providing of course they win in france, the only way we'll play them is if the catalans spring a shock

I'd usually back Leeds to bounce back, but after a very hard physical game and with their injuries reckon its Hull best chance of beating them especially with both first choice half backs playing.



Saying that i want a Leeds win to make (nearly) sure of a derby play off.

Did you even watch the game? Leeds pack was M.I.A. all afternoon - no way they'll be tired after that effort, just, as their captain Sinfield said, completely "embarrassed". Backlash time for us, unfortunately, but it's nice to finish in the 6 anyway.

So JJB didn't get injured and didn't return and McGuire didn't get knocked out (albeit briefly) and perhaps Englands captain Peacock isn't really out for a year and none of the Leeds players took any knocks or injuries.?



Maybe your lads didn't really benefit from having the weekend off, perhaps Long and Horne aren't returning to boost a fully fit squad ( ? )



Your mind games are just getting sillier by the post Mrs B.

Look, Leeds are back to back champions for three years so know a bit about the business end of the season, and their captain says they are embarrassed. They've only one thing to aim for now the double dream has been ended. They are missing Peacock, Burgess and JJB, which will hurt them, but again I think you missed the game if you think the Leeds pack put in a full shift against Warrington. McGuire played 80 minutes I believe, so that's more nonsense.





This is an old argument about continuity vs being fresh. Leeds may use their poor underperformance on Saturday as the best form of motivation - it's a possibility. Fully fit? Well, apart from having only 2 of our first choice back 5 available.







Not at all. As said, I'm delighted to be in the 6, that's an improvement of 6 places over last year and our best finish since we last made the play-offs, when you actually had to make the 6 to qualify. Do you think FC will be favourites with the bookies?

Well aware Leeds have been champions for the past few years, but eventually even the best teams have dips, sometimes temporary other times more prolonged. The matter has even been discussed on their own board but the more sensible fans realise the loss of three key forwards and also possibly Clarkson now (injured knee) is crucial to them. McGuire did indeed play 80 minutes even if he may have been fully composmentis (sp) after being knocked out, but then again players have often played on only to discover later they have broken bones etc, part of the game but it hardly helps their performance. And it appears the vast majority of your fans welcome the timely boost that the very experienced half backs of Horne and Long will give the team.



The argument about playing in a hard cup final as against having the week off is hardly a new one but i think you'll find all coaches have stated its good to freshen up their team especally during a crucial stage of the season. Thats not saying that the two coaches in the final would swap places to give their teams a rest.





As for mind games i doubt any other Hull fan has already stated Rovers will win the play off derby at the KC should we meet because Hull have managed the two victories in the regular season. Alex Ferguson is usually regarded as master of mind games, could you consider yourself the mistress of them.
