All the best for Friday, Hull deserve it, they've been the best most consistent team this season by a country mile.

discipline is key for me. we don't want to be giving them easy metres. they won't make many non penalty metres, so let's no make thing easier for them

Thaler kept Wigan's interference at the ptb under control last time we played them hope he does the same on Friday

Depends on who the RFL want to go to Wembles, init.

One match ban, but will soon get overturned, no doubt.

wigan are just calling around a few ex players to see who is available to sit on the appeals panel

You don't believe in conspiracy theories do you lol

Wigan fan here and can't say I'm confident, you've started to look like yourself from May/June in the last few weeks and we at the moment are awful. Our forwards last week went pretty well I thought, matched saints in every department in the pack but the backs were quite frankly shocking, Only Tierney and Manfredi had decent games, Tomkins was embarrassing, didn't run at the line more then 3 times I'd say and knocked it on about 4-5 times, Matty Smith was his normal self and by normal I mean utter crap, our only real threat again was George Williams. Man of match had to be Bateman though, that lad is something else, puts 110% in every week.

To beat you lot our attack has to improve massively and I can't see where that's gonna come from, anything like last weeks performance and you'll put us to the sword, I hope for a competitive game this week, I don't mind if we play well and get beat because that means you played even better but if we play like last Friday then we'll have no chance

Glad to finally have tickets sorted and think we've got a great chance of winning. Momentum seems to be on our side and the key thing is a low penalty count from FC. If we can achieve that I am confident we'll be at Wembley again.

sounds to me tomkins didnt want to risk getting injured if he didnt run at the line, maybe under instructions!?

Frank-Paul banned for a game.

give it 24 hours!

Not much of a miss for us, he's nowhere near match fit.

Frank Paul banned . This is another positive for Hull . Top of the table , playing in the semi agains a team with a pivotal opponent player banned . Radford stating in the press that confidence is sky high in the camp . Can envisage Hull winning by a 26 point winning margin .

A monkey off your back with a winning display at Wembley is surely on the cards now .

even so, wane will probably put an appeal in

What a boring troll you are

and not even a good troll,

Apparently LMS used to spend his school holidays over in New Zealand with Nuasalas family when they were kids. Wane knows this and will be making the RFL aware of it.

Used to plait each others' hair and make daisy chains. Lovely image.

First time I've seen the swear filter put the word troll out

Maybe so, but what's the point of playing him if he's injured, might as well have a fully fit Tierney at full back than a half fit Sam and then he'll be fit for this Friday

What's your likely team, your Majesty?

Dom Crosby went off injured on Friday with a recurrence of an arm injury and is expected to miss out so I'm guessing we'll line up-

Tomkins
Manfredi Sarginson Gildart Tierney
Williams Smith
Flower Powell Mossop
Isa Bateman O'Loughlin

Subs- Sutton Tautai Bretherton Shorrocks

Clearly way off our strongest side with 7 guaranteed starters plus Nuuausala missing but I'm sure we'll give it a crack.

Looking forward to it.
