Leigh!!! Don't be building their hopes up.

DW Stadium to Keep Moat Stadium 88.2 miles, 97.2 if you go via the M62
Belle Vue to Leigh Sports Village 54.9 miles.

It's not the venue that's the problem it's the fact that it's being played on Friday.
The games should have been Saturday and Sunday.

individuals have for sure but as a team this current Hull side will be playing together in its first semi final. Touch wood if we can get a reasonably strong side out there we should have a side together that is used to playing in semi's and finals on a regular basis.

Hull are having a fantastic season but this game will go up a few notches in intensity. I'm genuinely interested to see if you're the real deal. It's great for the game to have a strong Hull but that's means getting to finals.

We'll have to be at our very best to stand a chance of a win but I think that's true both ways.

Surely every team playing plays a semi for the 1st time together.....from the teams that played in the 2013 semis...how many are left for you out of curiosity.Yes it will be a step up in intesity for us but the fact we have got rid of a few gremlins this season,Radford growing into the job and not many injuries means we are used to a settled team and are winning matches we would have lost before

To me this is a new Hull team with a new attitude and I mean that in the most positive sense. It isn't a first semi or final for a lot of the players but it's the first test of that sort for this side that has been built over the last couple of years. Yes there are some players that remain from the odd semi/final appearance over the last few years but they're now playing as a collective in this side which looks capable of winning things. I just think we now need to see if they can take that next step.

We on the other hand are reasonably settled. Off the top of my head I'm not sure exactly how many players remain for us since 2013 but I do know the vast majority of our side which will turn out in that semi will have played in the last two grand finals (and in semi's). Our side is evolving gradually but for Hull it's been more of a revolution and that's my point.

It's all set up for a fantastic game.

It is indeed. I didn't see much of the Catalans game, but I figure Hull must have done pretty well to get past them; they've been impressive this season. Our goal-line defence against Cas was pretty good, and I'm sure it'll be tested again.

It's going to be a tough game. As fc baldy points out, they've been lucky staying relatively injury-free this year, which is always a big help, but I think if we have a few more bodies back by then (or at least don't lose anyone else) we'll manage to edge a win.

I'd be surprised and very relieved if that happens, because as Nicky Kiss keeps saying if we can get our best 13 on the field on a consistent basis we've got a great chance at silverware. It's just one of them years though where we get one back but lose two more.

We'll beat Hull. We'll ensure we have the likes of Tomkins and Lockers fit. With a fit first team we looks very effective, ripped a strong Castleford apart in the first half only to take the foot off gas in the second half.

I predict we'll be even stronger with the inclusion of some first teamers returning from injury and suspension.

Hull will get a shock.

We play Salford the week before the Semi so an ideal chance to rest some players. Top spot could be guaranteed heading into the Super 8's by then also, with games against Hudds (A) and Leeds and HKR at home. I think our pack, as has done for 95% of this season, will be on top - it is whether our backs/halves can capatalise on that

Play Saints at home the week before the Semi-Final.

We play Saints the week before the semi, not Salford.
Just spotted that E.W. beat me to it.
