Preview:
Leeds v Hull (Round 14)

Leeds were the last team to beat Hull in engage Super League but that 34-26 win at the KC Stadium five weeks ago marked an upturn in the fortunes of the Black and Whites since the sacking of John Kear.

Caretaker boss Richard Agar steered them to a hat-trick of wins and their revival has been maintained under new head coach Peter Sharp with further impressive victories over Wigan and Bradford.

?We?re going along nicely, the boys have played really well,? said Sharp, who had been watching the performances of his new club on DVD until arriving from Australia a fortnight ago.

?You probably appreciate it a lot more live rather than on tape. The atmosphere makes a difference and the speed of the game is certainly different to what you imagine.

?I?ve been very pleasantly surprised at the quality of the players in the team.?

Hull are boosted by the return of centre Sid Domic while Leeds recall forwards Ali Lauitiiti and Ryan Bailey.
