Leeds v Hull FC: Predicted line-ups and late injury news

On paper, this might look like a routine win for high-flying Hull FC. Despite Monday’s slip-up the Black and Whites have been a top team this season even knocking Wigan out of the Challenge Cup. Coming up against the injury hit Rhinos, most will tip Hull to come away with the spoils. But, as Leeds welcome fans back to the famous South Stand they may be inspired to victory.

Also boosting the Rhinos is the return of Richie Myler and Zane Tetevano from suspension. Myler will likely return to fullback sharpening the Leeds attack. Tetevano will provide further steel in the middle of the park as will the potential return of Bodene Thompson and James Donaldson from injury. That said, impressive youngster Jarrod O’Connor should keep his place in the side.

As for Hull, there are concerns over the fitness of Adam Swift who has a hamstring problem which might see Bureta Faraimo return to the side. Meanwhile, the Black and Whites could look to add a little more size to their 17 after a difficult game against Catalans. So, Jack Brown may find his way onto the bench.
