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.

tbf most supporters are just enjoying the ride, most had us 5/6 this year and a good cup run, atm we are top and at Wembley so we are walking on air, yes our team is playing well and imo will give all teams a good run, havnt heard from our supporters calling us world beaters, but we are in the mix which is what most of us wanted, cant wait for Wembley and think it will be a great occasion

Bizarre that we've lost those games but lost only 1 from 11 against the rest of the top 5 and that to a last minute drop goal

Bizarre is the way these threads are going down hill so fast with negativity from all sides, the only thing that matters on 27th August is who has the best tactics, the fittest and most desire.

There will be nerves on the day on both sides, coping with that will be key. All this we've took 4 points off you and oh you lost to Leeds twice is mindless boiiocks.

Lets hope both sides can keep that element of ery under control in the stands. Here's to a great day all round

Cant wait for the final already. Although we are top and in the final, you wont find a Hull fan on here that would say they are 100% pleased with how we are playing. I think we go side to side too much without engaging defenders. I dont think we have an adequate number 6 - unless Abdull plays. Pritchard doesnt look fit. So there are issues to correct. Just hope you play Tom Lineham on the wing

Pritchard was a passenger on friday night, interesting there was a lot of strapping on his knee first half, which vanished second.

Whats up with y'alls 6 then? I thought the tuimivave plan was in force?

Seems that is the way Radford wants to go. Maybe the pre-season training at Centre has meant he hasnt had time to build an effective partnership with Sneyd yet, but Abdull stepped in for the Derby and the win against Salford and played well straight away.

Pritchard is being used in the middle rather than as an edge runner, which is what he was renowned for in the NRL. He was coming into some form, then went and captained Samoa and hasnt looked fit since. Saying that, his stats are pretty good, only a handful of games where he hasnt made 100m in a game, just being used incorrectly IMO
