| Quote nottinghamtiger="nottinghamtiger"I think it is so difficult to win both trophies. Hull won the cup last year and folded in league.
Wigan won the grand final after going out of the cup in the semis.
Given our position in the league at the moment, I consider going out of the cup to increase our chances of winning the grand final.'"
Although I cannot disagree with this comment, you have to understand the significance of the cup win at Wembley for Hull FC as a club. The players were let off their leads for a good few days after that win due to the impact it had on the club.
I doubt that would happen, should Hull be good enough to win the cup again.
Would be interesting to know where is being thought of as venues |

Twice in the last 4 seasons it's happened, not only play at Wembley but win.
You might get to put your feet up for a week but at the cost of major big game experience. History would suggest teams with the big match experience reach or win Grand Finals. |

Twice in the last four seasons. But how often overall?
There are different perspectives. I'd rather not play every possible week of the season given our strong position in the league. I think it cost us in 2014. |

Leeds v Hull at the Keepmoat.

Since the first Grand Final in 1998, there's been 12 Wembley finals, of which 5 eventual Grand Final Winners have been present. If we include the non-Wembley finals in that (2000-2006) then 9 of 19 Grand Final winners have played in the Cup final the same year.
Breaking it down further and looking at how each Grand Final Winner has done in the Cup:
Cup Winners - 4
Cup Runners Up - 5
Cup Semi - 2
Cup Quarter Final - 1
Cup Round of 16 - 6
Cup Round 4 - 1
So Cas losing in the Quarter Finals isn't looking promising for you really.... |

Did you say this before the game, that you weren't bothered about being knocked out?

How overall do you want considering the different formats and cup final date? We've only had two seasons of the CCF slap bang in the middle of a Super 8's?
It's because of your strong position and points gap in the league you really could've gone for Wembley because you could have rested players between Wembley and the playoffs. |

9 out of 19 isn't great, considering very few teams have won either a GF or the cup.
Most grand final winners have gone out of the cup without even making the quarter final. Wish we had lost to Saints now. |
