Quote: Staffs FC "+1

My confidence comes from how our team has miles better quality players than it had last time.

Crookes/Crooks/Miller/Arundel as against Michaels/Talanoa/Sneyd/Fonua as an example (and that's before considering our dominant forward pack).

It doesn't mean we'll win but as WIZEB says we'll be giving it a great shot like we have for the majority of the year. If we come up short then we still have much to play for rather than it being the usual be all and end all of just getting there. I'm certain that whatever happens this team wont give anything less than their best. All the hype around it wont matter one bit come the first whistle.'"


Absolutely mate, we have a shot and what will be will be.
Don't get me wrong, I'm as desperate as the rest of us for a win but life will go on regardless.
I wanna be buzzing down in the hotel disco early on Sunday morning not wrapped up under the duvet in my cot, with the rattle thrown out by 8pm on Saturday evening. lol:

To be honest I think it's been remarkably low key as far as the club goes. Not a peep out of them until the Catalans game had gone and even now it's only just starting to gather momentum on social media.

All a deliberate low-key approach, I'd expect nothing less from Radford. The focus was on securing that semi-final. All CC talk was quashed pretty quickly.

The club will get maximum publicity from this weeks build-up (after all, we have 2017 passes to sell and a GF and CC final will bring untold benefits).

I would imagine the club will get someone like Luke Campbell to present the team with their shirts and I would seriously get Motu, Swain and Kearney to give that pre-match talk.
In my opinion, the fans should be creating the hype, not the club.

You could point to Warrington getting a former England football captain to present their shirts, plus Ashton Sims was on BBC News and Radio Five Live this morning, no-one from Hull FC. Warrington being closer to Salford than Hull, presumably the reason.

Tut tut tut, BBC is supposed to be an impartial organisation...

Normally nervous thinking if we play to our potential, have some luck, they play poorly we are in with a chance of winning.
This year I think differently, we have a great side who play for each other. If we turn up with the right attitude and play like we can we will lift that challenge cup im in no doubt about that. I just think we will want it a little bit more than them. Play like we did against Wigan in the semi job done.

I'm certainly letting the occasion get to me. I've started smoking again.

If the lads are just 3% as nervous as me then we are in big trouble.

If you can't enjoy the build up to a major final, what's the point? This one's been very good IMO, good balance of positivity and realism. Wish you all safe travels and that the game is a good one. The team and club have worked very hard to get us to this point, excellent season's progress regardless of outcome. icon_biggrin.gif

I don't get the doubts or talk like Warrington are the favourites for this game

History's aside there's little to call between the two different teams. I just feel us possibly starting with at best one winger n having Evans cover on the wing forcing t king to play at centre is going to give u guys the edge I'd love to be wrong but having Russel n Evans on the wing has cost us trys that arguably penny n Lineham score and in a final to be without one and possibly the other is going to have an effect on the result one way or another

Warrington are the favourites for the game with bookmakers, hence the talk to this effect. icon_wink.gif

Same here.
I think this game is ours to lose.

If we turn up we win in my eyes . And I think we will turn up , there's to much experience and old heads in the team for us not to . You can sense the confidence in the squad but it's not over confidence .

The occasion didn't get to us in the SF, the final will be no different.
