Whilst i take your point and factoring in the expense and inconvenience of a replay saying you would rather lose than draw?

surely not?

Going off current form I'm not convinced we are at the moment.


quite mad that a team who have won 3 of their last 6 games are such odds on favourites against a team who have won 5 of their last 6

I'm no expert on betting (I bet on grand national and nothing else) so am no expert on how bookies select odds but surely it has to have something to do with minimizing losses for them. A lot of people will have put a lot have money on us prior to our recent slump and Hull's resurgence so driving the odds shorter and shorter (so that winning bets pay out less in total). The bookies will not want to encourage more people to bet on us and potentially increase the money they have to pay out by lengthening our odds. I would expect Hull's odds will shorten too if large amounts start to be bet on them winning.

Form will count for nothing on Saturday just as it didn't when Hull beat Wire.

I must admit that both I and the league positions would say that Warrington is a better team than Hull.

25/1 for Charnley to win Lance Todd Trophy on Ladbrokes, that's got to be worth a flutter.

O'Loughlin 12/1 on Skybet, might go with that, or Flower at 100/1.
