Hull will slow down your ruck speed and then batter you up the middle, leaving Sneyd to turn you around constantly and add to your fatigue. Your PTB speed was the key to your win yesterday.

And Wakefields paper-defence, o'course. See you at Wembley!

you would be hard pushed to find many Hull fans in disagreement with this, that's it then sorted you let us win at Wembley we will let you win at old Trafford simple just get Smithy to ring Radders lol

go on then try it

Urgh - An example as to why I fear this final wont be as fun or good natured as previous finals! Urchins.

Are we talking about the same Hull team that have lost on six occasions this season, including twice against Leeds and another against Huddersfield, or is this some group of unbeatable super humans also going by the name of Hull FC?

dont recall any bother from fc fans at wembley or cardiff from the last 3 cc finals we have been at!

maybe its just you!


i expect it to be a typical cc final day (hopefully without the rain), fans mingling having a few expensive watered down bevvies, swapping stories, rumored signings, (which will be way off the mark btw) from fans of each club thats in and around wembley

hope all wire fans and fc have a great day and hopefully we will get that monkey off our back

What did he say wrong, only challenged you to stop Houghton, it's not as if he just asked you for a fight, very strange reaction.

yep the same hull that took 4 points off wire

rather pointless comments then about us losing to leeds, huddersfield etc! atleast we scored against hudds lol


what it does tell us when we play you, is that we can beat you!

Absolutely right. Get the tactics right and I don't see a problem.

Be a tough game. I worry about the physicality of our pack.

Toughest final of the 4 we've been in since 2009.

Saying that we've only been favourites once

I just hope both teams have no injury worries leading up to it, it will be a great game that I'm sure will go down to the Wire

My original point is that Hull are not a team full of Man of Steel contending supermen on an inevitable march towards Challenge Cup and Grand Final glory as some in the media and some fans seem to think. Despite being the best team in SL so far this season, they are beatable.

Hull have been the best side in SL so far this season, but we know better than most that being the best over the course of the season means absolutely nothing when it comes to winning meaningful silverware. We also know better than most that taking all the points from a rival in the regular season means nothing come the knockout games.
