on superleague full time tonight it said all 3 will play next week

Expect a reaction from our boys, they'll want to right wrongs, think London then Wembley.

I hope so because we'll need them against Hull's forwards. If we're missing these three, then there is the potential for the likes of Watts and Lynch to dominate our pack. Even more important is that Westwood is back to defend against Willie Manu on our right edge defence.

Hull are a quality side, and they will be inspired by a vociferous away following. Nevertheless I expect a much improved performance, and as long as our forwards match their, then the quality of Briers and Hodgson should see us through.

Prediction: Wire by 12

-this-

well not expecting a win, but we are clearly a side in form scoring 150 points in 3 games and conceding 22. added to this is a lack of pressure as the away and lower placed side and no new injuries (for one of the few times this season), and it should be a close game. be better for us if westwood isn't fully fit and i think carvell will be out, and possibly hodgson.

Also not expecting to win, but hope we can come across and be competitive. Wire go in as favourites and rightly so, there is no way they can play as badly as they did agaisnt Saints and I'm sure they will come out all guns blazing. If we can keep you at bay for the first 20 minutes we have a good chance of producing an upset.

Brings back bad memories, us having Hull at home in the playoffs.

I still think my number 1 most disappointing moment as a Wire fan wasn't even last year against Leeds, it was in 2005 when we had Andrew Johns and lost to Hull in the first playoff at home. Hull then went and got smashed by 70 odd at Bradford the next week so it was a waste of time them going through!

Didn't Hull have a man sent off early on in that Bradford match though?

Kearney tired to decapitate Peacock.Iir.

I'm just hoping for a good game and for the ref to be invisible throughout.not much hope of that if I'm honest.

Anbody but Leeds or Saints in the final bored of them now.

that really was very disappointing....the hype around Johns had me believing we could go all the way....it made me totally forget that our pack contained the likes of Paul Noone.

It was Stuart Fielden actually, and having previously seen Jason Smith miss 6 months after Fielden raised his knee in a tackle Smith was attempting, shattering Smith's sternum, I didn't blame Kearney for the high tackle. Fielden was banned for two games, I bet Jason Smith felt happy with that after his season ending injury.

Anyway, back on topic.

Hope it's a good game and we manage to be competitive throughout. Wire have class all over the park but I think Hull's pack can more than match their's which hopefully will mean we have a chance out wide. There will certainly be a big Hull following so it should be a belting atmosphere.

See you lot on Saturday.

can see an embarrassingly low crowd on saturday. Only about 7500 home fans could be bothered to turn out last week.
