Don't care really, just as long as it's a good game - and they knock 10 bells out of each other in the process! icon_smile.gif

I'd like Hull to do it, but I can't see passed Wigan.
I'l start supporting Hull as I'm a Yorkshire lad but being a neutral I can switch my allegiance depending on what happens. Attitude of players rather than score.

Want it to be a good spectacle and a good advert for the game and the world cup.

Of course as a neutral and because of their location I'm supporting Hu...................... Sorry I can't do it. I'll have to support the lesser of 2 evils. Wigan!

I'm just hoping both teams can find some form. For the sport as a whole, this is one of only a few occasions when rugby league will attract attention from more than just the usual crowd and we need this game to be a spectacle. Something that shows off our sport in an impressive manner.

Hull and be a very difficult team to play against, and have the talent to beat Wigan, no doubt. But, I can't see past Wigan in this one.

JOHN THE REDBOY I have been a rovers fan all my life and my grandkids are as well:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47753.jpg



nearly every year I go to Wembley no matter who is playing but this year I got a gut feeling that hull would win, and that was before the quarter finals so I said to the wife no chance I do not want to be their,sorry but that is the way I was brought up so good luck to Wigan

Agree with that. Something that shows the game off in the best possible light.

Want Hull to win but it is hard to call. Either team could win it.

I'm not quite neutral, but I think it is a fascinating match-up. Hull are underdogs, but underdogs with a really good chance. They need to stop Wigan playing, prevent them establishing any attacking fluency. Wigan need to get a lead and force Hull into playing and taking risks.
Hull will have a couple of inexperienced players in their spine. Miller and Shaul, though both 21 (and clearly talented), don't have much first-grade experience. Shaul, in particular, who I think has only 6/7 games against SL opposition. But there are questions over how fit Tomkins or O'Loughlin are too.
The OP is a Hull fan, iirc and when I looked at the two boards this morning there was a striking difference in the level of excitement. While Wigan fans were moaning on about deciding the champions through a play-off system and grand final, Hull fans are like 6-year olds at Christmas. Natural enough when you get a small coterie of teams dominating a sport, I guess - but I imagine most neutrals will be backing the underdogs, and if they do it they'll certainly have deserved it, as the draw did them no especial favours.

I'm leaning towards a Hull win (that's a prediction, not a preference!). Wigan's pack now seems underpowered, so unless they've been saving a big performance for a big game, I think Hull might well be able to knock them out of their stride and battle a bit harder.

Think Hull will be up for it enough to win.

Apprantley there has been a good bit of money placed on Hull. Seems a lot of people fancy us to pull it off.

In the last few weeks we've been backed in from 10/3 to 5/2 and the spread has gone from Hull +14 to +10.

Wigan need to play 10x better than they have in the last 3 months or so, on the whole we've been terrible since the Magic weekend.

As a KR fan I still want FC to win but not gutted if they loose. What I want is both teams either poor or at their best so it is an even contest won by a drop goal on the final whistle would be best, the worst senario is one team spot on the other rubbish & a cricket score either way.
