"Thursday’s game will not make or break Hull FC's season in the same way it might for Rovers" say the Rovers reporter in the HDM.

Hull charter an Eastern Airways aircraft on this occasion a Saab 2000 which is a fast prop aircraft but it takes a little longer 2 hours 30 minutes

Still, not much different to getting the coach back from Wigan / Widnes.

It would be the effect of playing in the heat which may have been a bigger factor

Let them stay guessing until the latest as possible

The main problem teams now have in their planning, is that we have recently become multi- dimensional in attack. Therefore very hard to plan against, no matter who is playing.

I hope we wipe the floor with them but just have a sneaky feeling it could be one of those games where we're not on it from the off and get turned over easily. I expect them to start with masoe and garbutt and try to hit us hard early on.

We need a win to keep the pressure on wire who could lose this weekend although I expect saints to send a weakened side to them and wire to pick up the points

Tough one this, as much as I want to beat KR I would love to contribute to sending Leeds down.

There’s nowt tough about it, what Leeds n Rovers do is irrelevant to us, take points of both if possible, and try and catch the Wire.
