Surely you know the value in terms of revenue that a good cup run will generate? That's the difference between a profit and a loss at the end of the year.

Not to mention the invaluable confidence gained from a continued winning streak? Winning next week generates more confidence for the Huddersfield game. Another loss and the pressure intensifies.

Stupid comment.

cant believe some of the comments on here, a good cup run never hurt anybody and who knows how far you might get with a bit of luck, plus we wont go down

Pearson said that getting knocked out of the Cup at the first attempt last season cost him £50k. Tell him the Cup doesn't matter and to play a weakened team.

I'd like to see us rest a few players after another ridiculous Easter period. If we have fringe first team players who are fit then they should get a run. Going with Abdull, BTW, HTW and Turgut would still give us a strong team. One good thing about having a clueless attack is that you can't disrupt it by changing players around.

We could even rest Houghton and go with just two hookers.

Cunningham deserves a start. Howarth seems a steady player too. Sa and Pryce could miss out for Adbull and an U19s centre.

Definitely rest Westerman ,Houghton, Shaul & Pryce , Drop Naughton to fullback and bring in Abdul BTW & Lancaster if he's not injuried .

Lancaster has a torn hamstring.

I thought I read it about it somewhere.

we have to be careful who we decide not to play, we are short in numbers in the pack so cant see many being left out, also we cant take sheffield too lightly!

sheffiled currently holding leigh to 10 all

I've seen Hull lose at Wembley several times but would still rather get there than not. Sheffield are a good team, seven wins this season, so go with a mix of 1st team and U19's and rest those 1st teamers that need a weeks recovery. We still should be strong enough to win. I'll be there, was down in Sheffield today running the half marathon, so two Sundays on the bounce in the steel city.

First FC game I could have walked to and I'm away!

Should rest Pryce, Minichello and Westerman in my opinion.

Put the strongest team out.

Just supposing we have to play them again in the middle 8s it would be better to do it on the back of a good victory in the cup.

We can always spell players in the match itself if we are comfortably ahead

Sheffield cannot wait for this game, they're hoping for 300 Eagles fans to attend the game...Free Entry for them should help !

Putting loads of emoticons after your comment does not make it funny...

He's hilariously funny, he called us Huddersfield-Sheffield the other day, truly the Archbishop of Banterbury!

Here is hoping for a good game on Sunday, looking forward to it!

I'm behaving like a twit (for the i replace it with a), just like your Angelica Cynic !

Watts and Yeaman possibly back. Green's got strapping on here in the gym, maybe not too far away? https://vine.co/v/ezqzDw662qq

Anyone who is travelling down and fancies a drink before the game, the Sheffield Tap at Sheffield Train Station (if you're travelling by train) is pretty good.

The Rutland Arms (S1 2BS) is a good pub, about 5 minutes walk from the ground. The Globe is also ok, opposite Sheffield Hallam University.

As it's a Sunday, on-street parking around the ground is free.

Safe journey to those travelling down.

Great picture (on Hull FC [url=https://twitter.com/hullfcofficial/twitter[/url) of the winning team parading the 1914 challenge cup.

The little guy in the middle is actually bumpy, who was the club's assistant video analyst at the time.

Strongest possible squad. I'd go with

Shaul
Lineham
Michaels
Talanoa
Naughton
Pryce
Rankin
Paea
Houghton
Watts
Mini
Sa
Westerman

Cunningham
Bowden
Feka
Thompson

Yeaman and Howarth to miss out.

I'd go with that except I'd swap Cunningham and Houghton around.

Pretty sure that Yeaman if fit will start.

Looks good. Hopefully enough to do the job, think it'll be a good test.
