THE TEAM NEWS

LEEDS RHINOS

  • Leeds Rhinos got off the mark for the season by overcoming a very poor Wakefield Trinity outfit last week and they will be desperate to build on that as they go in search of a confidence-boosting second victory in succession.
  • If the Rhinos are to make it back-to-back wins, they will have to do so without skipper Kruise Leeming after he was handed a one-match ban while Cameron Smith is also banned and Harry Newman has been ruled out through injury.

21-man squad: 1 Jack Walker, 2 David Fusitu’a, 4 Liam Sutcliffe, 5 Ash Handley, 6 Blake Austin, 7 Aidan Sezer, 8 Mikolaj Oledzki, 10 Matt Prior, 11 Rhyse Martin, 13 Zane Tetevano, 14 Brad Dwyer, 15 Alex Mellor, 19 Bodene Thompson, 20 Tom Briscoe, 21 Morgan Gannon, 23 Jack Broadbent, 24 Jarrod O’Connor, 25 James Donaldson, 26 Corey Johnson, 27 Muizz Mustapha, 29 Liam Tindall

Unavailable: Tom Holroyd, Richie Myler, James Bentley, Sam Walters, Harry Newman, Kruise Leeming, Cameron Smith

Questionable: Muizz Mustapha, Alex Mellor, James Donaldson

HULL FC

  • Hull FC fell to a disappointing loss against a severely weakened Castleford Tigers side as they allowed their opponents to record their first win of the season and the black and whites will need to produce a much better display if they are to avoid a second straight loss.
  • Hull were produced a woeful performance littered with errors in their matchup with the Tigers and to compound matters, they have lost Josh Reynolds to an injury sustained in that game which means they come into this without their first-choice pairing in the halves.

21-man squad: 1 Jake Connor, 2 Adam Swift, 4 Josh Griffin, 8 Ligi Sao, 9 Danny Houghton, 10 Chris Satae, 11 Andre Savelio, 14 Joe Lovodua, 15 Joe Cator, 16 Kane Evans, 17 Brad Fash, 19 Ben McNamara, 20 Jack Brown, 21 Jordan Johnstone, 22 Josh Bowden, 23 Connor Wynne, 25 Mitieli Vulikijapani, 28 Aidan Burrell, 29 Jamie Shaul, 31 Charlie Severs, 32 Harvey Barron

Unavailable: Manu Ma’u, Scott Taylor, Luke Gale, Carlos Tuimavave, Cameron Scott, Darnell McIntosh, Josh Reynolds, Jordan Lane

Questionable: Joe Cator, Connor Wynne

THE PREDICTION

Leeds Rhinos claimed their first win of the season at the fourth time of asking as they prevailed in their clash with Wakefield Trinity last week and they will take some confidence into this contest with Hull FC. The away side come into this with question marks surrounding their mentality and attitude after failing to get the better of a Castleford Tigers outfit missing numerous key men. The black and whites have injury issues of their own to contend with here and while the same can be said of the Rhinos, the hosts look better-placed to deal with their absentees and should come out on top in this matchup.
