| Quote: Hessle Roader "Unfortunately, being of an age, I can vividly recall crying in 1959 and 1960 when we were demolished by Wigan and then Wakey. As a 17/18 year old it was pretty hard to take and subsequent defeats at Wembley have done nothing to take the pain away. Thank God for Cardiff, at least I was there to see us lift the cup.'"
Too young for those two defeats, but my Dad went through his life having witnessed every Wembley set back.
We missed being in Cardiff for the 2005 Final due to a family illness, but we at least witnessed the 1982 Elland Road Replay victory.
Really fancy us for a Wembley win this year, firstly due to this season's performances and feel we'd be hopeful of beating anyone we came up against.

This^^^^^
Felt that had Shaul scored we'd have settled and gone on to win.

| I've also always thought that about 2013. The lift the players would have got should Shaul have made it to the line would have won us that game in my opinion.

Will never forget Hudson's head high on Toppo and stamp on the head of Harkin, niether payer recovered during the game. Think Knocker cracked him a couple of times though.

All men are created equal, some work harder in preseason.

| Wasn't meant to be in 2013, knew as soon as Ellis went off injured it was going to take a miracle. Looking back it was a crap game, looked like a game of rah rah with no go forward from either side.

26533.jpg FC TILL I DIE
COME ON U HULL:26533.jpg |
|
| this year super league is very unpredictable Waky beat wire today that was a surprise giants pushed the dragon's very close on Saturday we look the form team but form can come and go class is here to stay
I believe we have the class in the team to stay around the top 4 or 2 but injuries have played a massive part of teams results this year we have been pretty lucky thus far our pivotal players apart from price have been injury free if we keep everyone fit and chomping at the bit and looking over there shoulder I think we have a great chance to reach the grand final
The challenge cup is a one off and depends so much on luck it looks like any ones cup in the last 8 other than Widnes they look to have fallen apart but they are missing key pivots so their form could return it could be the best super league ever and really change the comp for the future I believe we can go all the way to old Trafford this year if we stay fit and focussed

| I believe we have the best chance in 10 years to make a mark on the game.
I am level head enough to realise we will not win every game. When a defeat does come I really hope there is not a knee jerk reaction.
I am wary that Leeds will turn the corner at some point and that Huddersfield are a good side. These will turn over teams at the top end of the table at some point soon.
The senior players are the one who as a collective are our biggest plus point. I was critical of Leon Pryce recently on here, but in the last two game I personally think he has played extremely well.

This has always been my belief, had Shaul scored, the whole team would've lifted. Wigan were just as poor as us that day and were there for the beating.
In 2008 I accepted being beaten by arguably the best side in the country in that time. We did our best so I walked away with a smile on my face.
In 2013 I sobbed, and sobbed, and sobbed. Sheer frustration at the complete lack of common sense and nouse to put the game to bed and finally shrug that monkey off my back meant I was truly devastated.

Fully agree on Pryce, his experience and reading of the game is invaluable.
For the Michaels try on Friday - we had a move set up, When Pryce got the ball he noticed a Wigan player edge a couple of feet out of the line. Instead of carrying on an executing the planned play, he spots hit, hits the gap, sucks the defenders in and leaves us with the overlap. For the Talanoa try, he saw the Wigan defence wasn't set properly on the blind side and switched play.
He's suffered with a couple of small injuries and takes a few games back to get up to speed it seems, but fully fit he's still pretty decent.

Expected to move on at the end of the season, does he have another year in him?

I think he does. It sounds like it won't be with us, which I think is the right decision, but he'd get a contract elsewhere.

| Can see Pryce retiring with Bradford.
I definitely believe we can win something this year, there's no one we can't beat as we've shown but we're far from dominant as that's just the league this year. As for other fans, wonder how long it'll be before we start to poach Leeds glory supporters from the East Riding villages

Of that I am more than aware.
My point referred to the fact that we have never won the league that we are now in.
