Here we are at the end of the regular season with the playoffs upon us.

I'm really struggling getting myself up for this one. I don't know what to expect although I wouldn't be surprised if our attack doesn't turn up again.

We need to win it, not just because the players/staff can say "we won a play off game and then that'll do". We need to win this game tonight to progress because we want to and we want to win things.

For me to many average players more bothered about their wage packets than their rugby and winning things.

If hull turn up tonight and get beat and put in a dire attacking performance again I fear Gentle will be shown the door, which is what I want.

I hope we win tonight and put in a good performance and then go on to back it up with no excuses.

Come on you hull!

I think that motivation should be high tonight - if we win, we go to Huddersfield and i would fancy our chances of turning them over at their place with a strong Hull following!

I honestly can't get excited about tonight. I'll be watching on tv which is a good indication of where my interest for this season has gone. It's a sad thing to say but I'll be watching the game almost as a "neutral" because I won't be too unhappy to lose the game and just draw a line under this pi$$ poor season.

So its a win-win for you then?

I'm anything but one of the rabid, delusional optimists on here - but to give up on the team now would be ridiculous. It's potentially our last home game of the season and we're in the play-offs. We have a squad that potentially, with the right game plan and motivation, can beat any team in the competition. If we win tonight, we also get a little momentum going again!

We're going to have a long wait for the next season to begin - let's use that time to whinge about this seasons shortcomings eh?

I'd say up and down season. There's been some very very good and some bloody awful, but the good means its not been pi$$poor by any means.

I'm with the people who are finding it hard to get motivated for tonight tbh though. I know we can play well, but getting all hyped up for a game then watching us do what we've done too often this year will just spoil the evening (again), so I'll go with my usual resigned air and hopefully come away from the KC feeling happier than when I went in

I think Hull will defend them out of the game. Provide a shoddy attack, and win a close game by no more than 8. One thing they can take into the game is they know how to win knockout rugby. It was just a great shame they couldn't produce on the biggest of stages. Surely they can use that as motivation...

Wise words indeed.

Our season was "done" as soon as we got to Wembley. You can see it in the players and you can see it in every performance since, we're nowhere near good enough to trouble the play-offs (especially with O'Meley etc. missing) and the sooner we go out, the less chance that there is of us getting a good spanking somewhere live on Sky.

I'm just so relieved that it's not the dobbins at the KC tonight because that would have well and truly topped off our season.

If you turn up expecting to go home disappointed you sometimes end up pleasantly surprised.

People are getting a bit carried away saying were likely to be at Huddersfield next week. Firstly we won't be going anywhere if we lose tonight, and secondly if rovers turn saints over (for the 4th time this year) then (in the event we won) we'd be away to the losers of wire/Leeds which would be goodbye season.

Pessimists are never disappointed!

If we'd got Rovers at home it would be loads of extra cash in the bank, as it will be if we manage to beat Cats and get an extra game. That combined with the money we got just for getting to Wembley - means it's been at successful season financially at the very least!

To me every game is an opportunity. Alright we haven't taken as many of those opportunities as we would have liked but we're such an unpredictable lot who's to say tonight won't be our night.
This is about producing a one off performance and we know they are capable of doing just that.
I'll be there (with fingers crossed), hoping that there'll be another game for us next week.
