In round 13 rhinoms predicted the outcome of six out seven correctly being let down only by Leeds loss at Hull. SouthStander.com also predicted the Rhinos winner wrongly but also tipped the Giants to beat the Dragons. Both of our predictors average got the margin spot on for the Saints twenty-six point win over the Wildcats.
How will they fare in round fourteen?

Rhinos Ease into Semi Finals

28 Points |
Brian McDermott gambled on the return of Hauraki and Burrow from injury as he rested Delaney, Peacock, Ablett and gave Watkins and extra week of recovery time as the Rhinos, and a good 1,500 of their supporters descended on the excellent Leigh Sports Village for the Cup quarter final.
The home side had been relishing the thought of a giant-killing all week, and by eight o'clock they had worked themselves into a frenzy. Leeds needed to ignore the hype and play their usual game, to consign the game to the history books as they progressed to the semi-finals.

LSV |
After two rounds against fellow Super League opposition, the magic of the Challenge Cup sends us on an away day to Leigh Sports Village to take on a club with a massive rugby league history, for the first time since 2006.
The Rhinos welcome Rob Burrow, Kallum Watkins and Weller Hauraki into the squad after injury lay-offs and the bookies have given the home side a thirty point start.
A straight-forward Rhinos win, or another cup giant-killing on the cards?

Another Bad Day at the Office

Bad Boys |
It was a bad day at the office. One where we argued with the boss, jammed the photocopier, and spilt our 'skinny latte' over the keyboard.
In the end Hull FC were too good and strong for us and rather than having a chance of making fifth spot we ended the weekend at seventh, clinging on to the play-off places with our fingernails.
Is it time to push the panic button yet?
The photographers from rlphotos.com were at the KC and sent us these photos.

Poor Discipline Makes Hulls Day

Welcome Return |
Illness to roaming loose forward Ryan Bailey meant that Jamie Jones-Buchanan could make his return from injury.
The Rhinos had not lost at the KC for five years, but this was a game against a side sitting above us in the table, but fifth spot beckoned if we could get a
result.
We'd won four on the bounce, but some of them had been far from convincing. Everything was crossed for an improvement.

Rhinos Look for FC Winning Dozen

One ticket please |
The Rhinos make a rare saturday evening trip to the rip-off KC Stadium for the SKY televised game.
FC are on the back of three straight losses, but did have last weekend off due to their elimination from the Challenge Cup earlier in the month. Hull are one point above the Rhinos in the Superleague table, and with no love lost between the two after the recent Briscoe and Ellis sagas, all the indicators point to a fiery encounter.
Can Leeds put last weekends close game against Salford behind them and make it a five game running streak?

In round twelve it was rhinoms week as he predicted the correct outcome in all seven Super League Games. SouthStander.com mistakenly backed the Dragons and the Reds who fell to the Rhinos and Wildcats respectively.
This weekend sees round 13, and for seven teams that will be unlucky. Which seven will emerge victorious?
Our pundits have a punt.

Grabbed Winner |
To be drawn against the Salford Reds in the fifth round of the Challenge Cup was the next best thing to a bye, at least that's what it looked like the lads thought as they took the field and a wind-swept and rain-soaked City of Salford Stadium this afternoon.
The Salford public has obviously decided on the only outcome and stayed away in numbers with a five-to-three headcount of home supporters amounting to just over four hundred.
But it was a script that Salford had never received, they were there for the win, and we almost gave it them!

Rhinos to Rampage the Reds

Car Park Hell |
If you cast your eyes down the bookies odds for this weekends Challenge Cup fixtures you will find only one game where the odds between the sides are closer than those between the Rhinos and their
hosts the Salford Reds.
Leigh and Halifax seems to be the game that the bookmakers can't call, and then there is a massive gap to the most likely shock - with Leeds 1/6 and Salford 4/1.
The Rhinos are still big favourites, and that's totally understandable after the comprehensive 56-16 win six weeks ago. Is
there any chance that the Reds will shock us all?

Roaming Role |
There is no denying that McDermott has shaken things up to try and revitalise a team who seemed to be slipping down the table.
This week he brought in Shaun Lunt from the Giants to offer cover at hooker, released Hood on loan for six weeks, and decided to give Ryan Bailey another week in the free-roaming loose forward role.
Rob Burrows miraculous recovery proved to be a little too optimistic as the Rhinos welcomed the high-flying Catalans Dragons, many commentators tip for a first Grand Final appearance in 2012.
