Why would Smith move everyone around at this late stage of the season, particularly when we know he never does that? It's not 'lack of faith', it's just being sadly realistic based on what we've seen recently...

I like this idea but Sky won't.

Sky cover SL because of resulting subscriptions and advertising revenue which is linked to number of games, not the love of the game.

Here's some food for thought - go back to just after the Wembley defeat, injuries to key players and nobody gave us a cat in hell's chance of beating Catalan but they turned in a brilliant performance against the odds with a similar makeshift team (with an actual winger in it too!). Taking the 2 games out of context, which of the 2 games would you would you rather go in to needing the 2 points? I suspect most would say Hull rather than Catalan. We managed it then, we can manage it now.

Yes we have injuries to key players, and the stakes are a lot higher but I'm backing the Wire to win tonight. Keep the faith, people.

I have not thought about this game all week, infact this is the first real time i have been on here since the Wigan defeat as i have been that dismayed by the result. With a weakened team, up against a big team all i can see is a complete drubbing. Not one bit of emotion about the game as at the end of the day this game means nothing!!!!

In 2011 i thought it was great, experience tells you it means bugger all. If it was like football and you were to be champions then i would have likely have gone. Its all about the following 80 minutes and you could argue that finishing third is better for us as we play better away at Wigan than at home!

Wire out to 3/1 and hull are 1/4 with sky bet.

Wakefield 8/1 against stains. £5 double wire and Wakefield pays over £150 !! For a bit of interest

Dare I say, our traveller neighbours next?
