Peter Sharp, Hull FC

Kylie Leuleui has been given the day off on Monday after suffering from pretty serious concussion whilst going into a tackle on ex-Rhino, Chris Feather in Thursday's big West Yorkshire derby against Bradford at the Headingley Carnegie. On a good note, Danny McGuire, Ryan Bailey and Carl Abblet are included in Leeds' 19 man squad.
Hull FC lost out in the Humberside derby on Good Friday after KR's James Webster went for the 1 pointer which sealed the game, so the black and whites will be raring to go on Easter Monday. After all they have had the better results recently over the Rhinos.
If Hull are to beat the current blue and amber outfit, it really will take a mammoth effort. In the past few weeks, Leeds have had some stand out performances from Matt Diskin, Jamie Peacock and JJB, but what really made the difference against the Bulls was the way that every player out on the field of play in the Leeds colours played to the best of their ability. That is what wins matches.
Hull are certainly suffering from injuries. Richard Horne, Gareth Carvell, Ewan Dowes and Willie Manu will all be out for the visit of the Rhinos.

Leeds probably cant keep that 2 hours and 40 minutes of not conceeding a try going for this game, but as said plenty of times above, it will take a performance by Sharp's men. Don't get too smug though, Hull on their day can score quite a few points, and things can only get better for them.
The weather on Monday will continue to be cold, and there is also a chance that we could see some more wintery showers over the KC.
Have a safe journey across to Kingston upon Hull! Lets hope a few thousand Leeds fans will support the Champs to another victory! Don't worry though, if you can't make it to the game or are stuck in a caravan somewhere, the game will be live on SKY!
