Whilst also having 9 players unavailable ourselves. In general our defense has been very good, certainly in the past couple of months.

Take no notice of the village idiot easthullwesty no one else does

If we have a decent start and play like we did in the second half, we should beat hull comfortably IMO.

We came up just short vs the best team in the comp. Lets be positive about our chances this week

If we turn up in the first quarter , or should I say if we start with some props, we should be ok against Hull, but they're not to be underestimated

Hull's attack was good last Friday with Crookes scoring three and Briscoe two.
Houldsworth was their best player IMO and most of their good play came from him. Hull were without a number of players but their back line read - Shaul, Crookes, Whiting, Yeaman, Briscoe, Houldsworth and Miller. All played at Wembley and looked like they were trying to make up for damage done.
Hull weren't great at all but with a much needed win behind them, morale will have gone up so expect a massive improvement come Friday.
The game last Friday was the exact opposite of Wembley, with off the cuff play, fast players all over the park and a very entertaining game.

Yet only conceded 2 in the final against your first choice side despite having no possession or territory

If we dont win this weekend, we may as well not bother with the playoffs.

They should be focusing on this one as the first play off game. Raise the intensity and get the win under our belts. We have been playing well enough recently (first 20mins last week aside) to be confident of winning.

Is that the best team in the competition that we have beaten twice this year

Yeah, that's the one.

Nah, that means that Hull are da bestest team ever if you've beaten them twice.

Clearly

best team in the comp finished top

You'd like to think so, but I don't think finishing top says as much as it should.

~Wasn't the case when we finished top and lost in the GF. Same for Bradford when they finished top and When Warrington finished top.

Don't know why it would change now??

Looks like I was right.
