Discuss Hull FC v Leigh Leopards here.

[Cw25]

Hull FC 22-30 Leigh

[Leigh-On-Kiwi]

Hull FC 10-26 Leigh

[Old Frightful]

Can't argue with anyone who feels Leigh will be favourites here, although it looks like we may have Carlos Tuimavave back along with Mitch Vulikijapani which should certainly stiffen up our defence in the threequarters. Word is also that Jake Trueman may be playing, looking forward to seeing what effect he has.

I'll go Hull FC 18 Leigh 24.

[Snowys Backside]

Tight game. May go to golden point.

You pessimist, hope Vulikijapani stiffens up Hulls defence more than your resolve

[meast]

Leigh by loads, Hull are done already

[sweaty craiq]

Hulls rosta is too good to be losing 50% of games, expect a bounce back on Saturday

I rather think realist would suit me better, we’ll see by about 16:45 on Saturday.

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Leigh by 6.

[Oxford]

Interesting that the majority have gone with Leigh, I want a leopards win btw but my how times have changed.

I favoured Hull at home.

[LeytherRob]

I think you could toss a coin on this one. Both teams on 2 wins, both scored the same amount of points and Leigh the better defence with less points conceded. Shame it's not televised anywhere as i'd expect it to be a much closer affair than the Cas v Wire match on Friday

Cas v Warrington not on sky

You are correct, my mistake

[DimmestStar]

This is the most intriguing game of the round for me. Hull have Tuimavave back and he's a good player which will help. Pity the game is not on OurLeague.

Leigh have tough forwards and a quality backline and if Hull turn up in their half hearted mood again it will be a long afternoon.

It's probably a bit too soon for that to happen again and the bookies have Hull by 6. That's probably about right.

[DavidM]

If I’m put on the spot I’ll jump on Leigh to prevail

As a Leigh fan find us being favoured a little scary, used to being the whipping boys (including 2005, I was there home and away), always thought this squad could survive but will still take 11th if offered, pleased to take anything higher than that - and then know we have another season up here before the grim reaper (IMG) decides otherwise 

[Oxford]

So we Jack W giving it to the ref and the pundits say "Saints don't complain about it ...." mmmmmm!

The Huddersfield v Saints thread is somewhere else...

[Zilla Budgie]

Hull by 14 (hope not though).

[phiggins]

Wasn’t sure, but then saw how people were suggesting Leigh will win, so…

Hull by lots

I couldn't see a win in Leigh's first 6 fixtures prior to the season commencing, but having watched them play in all their games (bar Catalan away where losing 14 - 6 is as good as any result for any team going there) and seen Hull on TV I think this is to hard to call, Hull are enigmatic in that it can't be predicted which team will turn up, if they click they can beat anyone, equally they can have a stinker, but a middling Hull should make this an enthralling contest.

Back to Leigh, I am more leaning towards Mr Lam's assesment that we will not see the best of them and the team won't be fully cohesive with each other till about the 10th round in.

Leigh to sneak this game though.

Hull fans, which is the best pub near the coach park to go into prior to kick off please, and not to far from the ground because I am part lame at the moment.

You don't have time to go for a beer Harry , you'll be helping me carry that bloody great big flag to the stadium , guess who's been roped into ' taking ownership ' as the saying goes of sorting it out home and away ?

I'm in Hull tomorrow afternoon while my wife's working, would be rude not to go...

Is it best to buy a ticket online or can you pay at the gate?
