Leeds Rhinos vs Hull FC prediction
Leeds Rhinos know their chances of finishing top are now extremely remove, but they cannot rest on their laurels and need to enter the play-offs on the back of a morale boosting win. Brad Arthur knows this and has named a strong squad, with his side more than capable of ripping apart this Hull FC side when considering the hosts’ attacking options.
Maika Sivo and Brodie Croft are the players to focus on specifically. Having combined for 57 tries over the course of the regular season, they are the first and second highest try-scorers respectively in Super League this year. Back both to get on the scoresheet through tries against the lowly visitors in what should be a comfortable Rhinos win.
