Hide AdOpposition coach: Born in Hull, Lee Radford, 40, had two spells as a forward for his hometown club either side of a stint with Bradford Bulls during their Super League glory days. He retired as a player n 2011 to become assistant to then-coach Peter Gentle and moved into the hot seat in September, 2013. He was in charge for back-to-back Wembley triumphs in 2016 and 2017.
Opposition form: Hull were consistently inconsistent last year. They won 15 and lost 14 of their 29 league matches, but finished - in sixth spot - with a negative points difference, scoring fewer and conceding more than Rhinos. They ended a long barren run at Headingley with a 26-24 success in July.
Opposition star man: What role Jake Connor fills this season remains to be seen, but the England man has been handed the number six jersey and can - if he regains the sort of form he showed two years ago - make Hull a force this year.
Key battle: New signings Josh Jones and Manu Ma’u will form a formidable second-row pairing for Hull. Whoever partners Rhyse Martin for Leeds - likely to be Stevie Ward or Alex Mellor - will have their hands full.
