Quite amazed to see us being referred to as niggly and leaving hands in at the ptb...objectively I say we were one of the cleanest around the ruck, preferring a quick ptb. Obviously any team pops a ball out now and again.

I think that is referring back to the cup game where there was 4 or 5 occasions where Wire players clearly reaped the ball out sneakily and Bentham gave knock on every time.

I just can't see Hudds dominating up front to give Brough time to use his box of kicks.

Wire may have had the week of, but their training sessions will have been as tough as anything Hull offered.

Hudds have to be at their absolute best & hope Wire can't produce what they did against Leeds.

I've yet to see brough not have time to use his box of kicks. One thing he is good at is thinking quickly- and if he can't kick he will just run- that part of his game has been coming more to the fore as teams have tried to close him down to prevent the kicks- and of course we can always give it robbo.
You only have to look at some of the stats from our games to see that our forwards making fewer metres doesn't mean we are beaten- just ask Leeds!

brough is certainly running the ball more himself and taking on the line...with great success too i might add, great speed off the mark

And you guys don't think we'll be ready for that this time? Even us fans can see that when he's closed down he'll side step and set off down field like a rocket, we'll be waiting for it to happen and nail him every chance we get.

Its just getting those chances that's the problem. Concentrate on Brough like Hull did if you want and let Robbo, Grix and Lunt have a fieldday. Are you Peter Gentle?

Should be a cracking game best team will win on the day(just hope it's wire) if the worst comes to the worst and you win I will be hoping you win the gf

Westwood will gob Robbo over and over on Thursday like he regularly does to Burrow. Grix is not a very good attacking player in my opinion, he's not that big of a threat, plus he's a right wobbler under the high ball. Lunt is again only good if you win the floor. Your biggest threat for me comes in the form of Cudjoe.

You obviously don't watch us very much then......

On song, all our 17 are a threat to you !

Yeah, right!

Not worth replying to.

Typical Westwood then. Head high stuff all night.

Not saying your team as a whole isn't a force to be reckoned with. But what I am saying is that we can match you and be better than you in a lot of areas so much so that I don't really care about any of your threats bar Cudjoe who just seems to slip tackles constantly.
