You really think that bonaire (11 years) or Mrs B (20-odd years) could be bothered to pretend to be a Hull fan, day in day out, year after year?

Think there is a difference between acknowledging that they are a quality, well coached outfit (even if it is through gritted teeth!!), who seem determined to end their trophy drought, as opposed to fawning over their every victory which a couple of posters on here are becoming guilty of.


However good they are, it's still the enemy we are talking about here. If they are victorious at Wembley next month (and it's still an IF they triumph) it will be deserved, but it won't make it any easier to swallow for any true black & white on here.


I still wonder if there is to be a twist in this tale next month. It just seems so straightforward the way everyone seems to be assuming it's a done deal. It wouldn't be the first time the wrong coloured ribbons have been put on the cup before the game has even kicked off! Never underestimate the ability of sport to produce the unexpected, it's why we all tune it, it would be boring if we knew in advance every one of life's twists and turns. Here's hoping this is one of those occasions. 

  Very true, we can all remember Featherstone and Sheffield so there's still hope that Wire or Leigh can triumph.

Mrs b 100% a Hull FC supporter.  Used to go to most, if nit all, away matches

Whatever. Just certain posters turning up correlates with a Dobbins victory. Just saying. 

Whoever meets KR in the final, they will have to keep Smiffy quiet.  https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GqphyDKXQAAmmy5?format=jpg&name=900x900

Remember Cokey, half of the fair City (at the very least) is rooting for you and your boys to take their colours down!


You rescued us once, two years ago, repeat the feat again in four weeks time and West Hull and Leigh will be twinned for life  Come on mate, you can do it, we're all rooting for you over on this side 

Often wonder Wiz what Tex Hoy would be like at Full back in a quality team.
Think he would be a very different player to the one we saw at FC

Fancying Warrington for this one. These are the games Sneyd usually performs at his best.
Definitely could go either way but my money would go on Wire

Pressed submit literally the second Sneyd failed to get a kick away haha

think Leigh will come out on top, then over the next few weeks, leave out any players with a niggle until the final....

Fast game this. I expect it to open up in the 2nd half when they start to tire in this heat
