Nothing changes . We have to beat Cas , end of .
This Hull FC side is capable of doing that .

whatever happens rest of this season,hull have got to be far better at home next season.nearly 150 points against in 3 home games is just not good enough.

Well anybody is capable of anything, you're only still in it by the skin of a gnats knacker anyway.
Hull don't strike me as a team likely to beat Cas, then again, who does ?

You are right, oh except the two times we have already beaten them, one with 12 men and in a one off pressure game.

We are playing knock out Rugby now .
Cas are home and dry . Take the game to them from the off , and they will not want to know.

I'll settle for a draw, a victory, followed by another victory to complete the greatest season in our club's 152 year history.

Cas have been home and dry for a month. They've won every game since.

That's the spirit.

Powell claims he won't rest anyone.
Personally, I'm hoping Hull aren't in the semis. With your success in big games in the last couple of years, you are the team I least want to play in the semi-final or Grand Final!
Hopefully Wigan and Saints can both win and we can beat you to keep you out of the knock-out games.

Or he puts a weakened team out knowing a hull win will mean we finish third, then hopefully have a Hull v Cas final which will be a belter. I can dream anyway ha

You can't really second guess what Cas will do next week. Will they want to wrap a bunch of key players in cotton wool? Will they want to make (another) big statement of intent going into the semis? Even if they don't rest anyone are they going to properly switched on knowing that the biggest game in their recent history (maybe their history full stop) is just days away?

The way they have played in the 8's you have to expect that we will be facing a very good, very committed team. If we reproduce the Leeds semi performance we will be in the 4, if we are a little off it we may well be relying on a favour from elsewhere. Let's hope Salford get something, and then I won't care what happens Friday.

If Salford do the business Thursday then Radders might wrap a few of our own in some Johnson's come Friday.

Cas are gonna put their strongest available team out no matter what, I don't see anyone upsetting their apple cart despite the missing Gale.
They are in the position they are in because they have been and are the best team in SL this season and they won't give 2 f**** about trying to influence who plays who and when.
They'll have to play a good side in the final no matter what, I highly doubt they care who it is.
If I was Cas, I'd want the codheads or wigin in the final, there's a level of assurance in the predictability of both teams, Leeds, Saints and Wakey have the enigmas about em, could get hammered in one game then pull yer pants down in the next....unpredictable...

Wakey to beat wigan
Salford to beat St's

If that happens, it doesnt matter what we do and its an all Yorkshire top 4....

Salford aren't going to beat Sts. They got dry bummed on Friday when they still had a sniff of the top 4. They're on the beach already.
