Liam Sutcliffe insists the Leeds players are raring to go as they look to arrest their alarming slump when in-form Hull visit Headingley on Friday night. The Super League champions are second from bottom after winning just two of their first 10 matches and their last three defeats have been at the hands of last years bottom four teams.Sutcliffe, one of only three players to have started every match so far as injuries continue to devastate Brian McDermotts squad, says there were signs in last Saturdays 14-10 defeat at a much-improved Salford that the Rhinos are close to turning the corner. It was very disappointing to lose again but there were many positives, especially from where weve been at the last couple of weeks, Sutcliffe said.Were not panicking. We know were not in a great position but everyone is still confident in the teams ability and what we can do.You cant dwell too much on the past because it wont do you any good. You beat yourself up at the weekend but, come Monday morning, everyone is ready and raring to go again. It will come good. Returning star Robert Lui inspired Salford City Red Devils to a 14-10 win over fading Super League champions Leeds Rhinos The 21-year-old Sutcliffe was earmarked as their heir-apparent to Kevin Sinfield but, after making his comeback from a seven-month absence with a knee injury in the opening game of the season, admits things have not gone to plan.He found himself pushed out to the threequarters for the last two games after Ryan Hall, Tom Briscoe and Joel Moon joined the clubs injury list but will be back at stand-off against Hull following skipper Danny McGuires return to the sidelines with a quad problem.I was really looking forward to lining up with Danny McGuire this year, Sutcliffe said. Getting injured in the first game didnt help, plus I was trying to get back into the swing of things.Theres a whole bunch of things thats not gone right, personally and team wise, but hopefully we can pick up.Leeds have won their last nine home meetings with Hull, whose last win at Headingley was in September, 2007, but Lee Radfords men are riding high and aiming for a sixth successive win.However, they will still be without the injured Gareth Ellis and Mark Minichiello, while Carlos Tuimavave is also out after suffering a groin injury in last weeks warm-up.
