HULL FC VS LEEDS RHINOS PREDICTION
Hull FC and Leeds Rhinos will pay tribute to the life of Leeds legend Rob Burrow following his sad passing last week. It will be a poignant afternoon with both sides looking to put on a show in memory of the inspirational man. FC have shown some signs of improvement of late but it has not been enough to end their losing streak which now stands at 11 matches. They need to put a full 80-minute effort together if they are to end their wretched run and will feel they can topple Leeds Rhinos, although the away side were impressive winners against Castleford Tigers last time out and should win again. However, the hosts can at least keep things relatively tight and should be considered with a start on the handicap.
HULL FC VS LEEDS RHINOS TIP: HULL FC +14.5
