It's a tough game to call but I have every faith that we can go to Cas and get the result we need. If we loose then we have no one to blame but ourselves. Our home form has been poor and defeats against Leigh at home and Huddersfield, Salford and Leeds beating us and putting some points on us is something we need to fix for 2018. It's still been a great season for me and the back to back CC Wembley win was fantastic. As Scott Taylor said good teams win at Wembley, but great teams back it up and win it again. I think Powell will go with the strongest possible team. If people think Cas will want to not play us in a semi final eliminator and pick a weaker team so we don't meet then that gives them a better reason to pick a full squad, beat us and not have to play us again at all this year.

thaler match referee, blnd man hicks VR

salford v saints ref child
wakey v wigan ref hicks



hmmm

Literally couldn't care less who the referee is. Take the tin foil hat off.

No problem with thaler for ours

The other two matches will be interesting

Milner went off but as since tweeted he's fine.
Though I think he could be rested this week.

Oil Holmes also went off, not heard what his injury is.
Jake Webster picked a knock up , I think hes ok, but got a sneaky feeling he could be rested.

Hull who are up for it - Cas by 8

Hull who can't be d - Cas by 20

I think it will be the former but ultimately a disappointing night for FC against a team who are not easing up in the dead rubbers.

hull to win, cup menatlity head screwed on, last time we came to the jungle or whatever its called these days we gave the game to you on a plate

I'm not a Cas fan but weren't Cas coasting and 3 scores up before putting the cue on the rack and Hull only threatened them in the last 10 minutes?

Doesn't mean the game wasn't handed to them on a plate - try reading a report of the game. eg www.skysports.com/rugby-league/c ... hull/47450

ok

Yes and no. They were coasting because we gave them three tries on a silver platter after being the better team early in the game. Cas made 3 breaks in the entire match, didn't get us on the outside once, and every point they scored came from our errors. It was 4 tries to 3 in Hull's favour.

I would back Hull to beat Cas even if this was a knockout for both teams. In a game where Hull have to win and it doesn't matter to Cas, I will be very disappointed if we don't come away with a result.

You seem very dismissive of Cas. Looking at your recent form I'm struggling to understand where your superciliousness comes from.

I prefer opposition fans to be dismissive of cas.
Makes them slightly complacent, as the Wigan fans were on Friday.

Not dismissive. Neither team played particularly well in that game I was talking about, it's not the best game to judge by. They are a big threat and deserve the plaudits they have had. However they aren't infallible, and Hull's best beats them imo.
