No just being realistic .

Not really, and you know it

Well we are a little tetchy aren't we, I will put it down to the shock of you winning a relatively important match, which is a rare event. It's entirely understandable that you are making the most of it.

Some (Garry Scohfield) didn't think we'd beat Wakey. We have yet to be given any chance apart from against the Crusaders. Its just the way we like it.
I saw a tweet yesterday saying Wigan would win easy as neither Wire or Hull want to win it. Pathetic statement for a start, but one I saw time and again after our win in France and Wires demolition of Huddersfield.

Bottom line is that its all on the day. I have seen enough of Hull on this cup run to suggest that the squad are as determined to win as any squad we have seen in the past, if not more so. Immortality awaits all 17 if they win at Wembley, regardless of how big a "star" they are. Look at Tommy Saxton who would have thought he'd be a FC hero? He got his chance in 05. It was the peak of his career but boy what a peak.

Everyone of this squad is capable and I for one feel this may just be the year we do it. (but I have said that before 80, 82, 83, 85..... didn't expect 08 in all honesty)

Yes of course we can. It couldn't be any harder for us though, Wigan are the team we struggle against the most. We have a shot!

Tetchy?? Not me, I think its great when the underpriveleged (in the intelligence department) make an appearance on a grown up forum.

Is that your best shot? You have disapointed me I honestly thought you could do better than that . Anyway keep trying I will try to give you as much encouragement as I can.

I think we can. In 2008 we had no half backs (Dykes and Horne) and Todd Byrne at Full back. Not a great spine to a team for a final. Plus we played a great Saints team and had to contend with S Ganson and despite all that we were not far away in the game. Our squad is superior in every way to that team so I see no reason why we can't win. Would rather be playing Wigan this year than last. They have no Finch, Hock, Thomas Leuluai, Ryan Hoffman. If we can keep Tomkins quiet then have a great shout.

Forgot Jeff Lima too.

We have a chance because we can tackle,Wigan will have to play really well,they won't get any easy points from us.

I think this could be a really close game,hopefully we'll have Horney back,concerned with Miller's defense,also took a couple of wrong options yesterday,when he could of put Ellis and Yeaman away.

First of all, can I congratulate you on a very good win and performance against wire yesterday. I was not on my own in thinking you never had a cat in hells chance of winning it but on the day you thoroughly deserved your win and a shot in the final.

Can you win it? Well you’re in with a shout if you can play like you did yesterday and keep Holdsworth fit, his kicking game was what kept the pressure on wire and forced them into trying that bit too hard and coughing up the ball. Hull definitely seemed to want it more, wire’s body language at half time said it all, they looked beat then.
Wigan will no doubt be favourites but that seems to suit Hull, the neutrals will no doubt be behind Hull as well, all in all can see it being tight and a game Wigan won’t really fancy.

Pointless thread that should be locked. Answer to OP is of course YES.
Clunk Click.

Obviously pointless to a KR fan......

If we play like we did on Sunday we can beat anybody. We can go into the game with no fear and it will be a great day.

One things it for certain they will get a game and wont' score 84 points.....

I think it's important we keep Ellis, O'Meley and Lynch fit. Not only for their experience, but for all 3 this is an 80 minute chance of glory in the final stages of their excellent careers, and all will be hugely motivated. The halves are fairly well matched, and I'm hoping for a timely boost Horne-wise. The backs are my main concern. Assuming that Crooks has no chance?

You are quite correct it will be around the forty point mark.
