New-look Hull FC must stick to what works for them against Leeds Rhinos

After six weeks away from home, Hull FC finally return to the MKM Stadium this Saturday afternoon. The Black and Whites host Leeds Rhinos, with both sides coming into the game off the back of indifferent results last weekend.

With another big match-day ahead including an activity filled Armed Forces themed fan park, a respectable crowd is expected and confidence won't be short, but now it's about
