Why? At this stage of the year nearly every player will have a knock or issue they're managing so Leeds could probably prove that each player was carrying an injury, might not have been enough to fully stop them playing but probably neither was Kelly's calf last week.

As for concussion, Stevie Ward definitely would've been ruled out last week regardless of the situation, Hall a maybe.

YEP saying Ferres won't play in this one so looks like Liam Sutcliffe is the one to return to complete our bench.

didnt bother me that leeds rested all their players, we would have done the same if in your position

the comment that got me from mcdermott was most were carrying concussion type injuries!
half your squad shouldnt have been on the field that night we played you at headingley if that was the case!

Just light hearted exaggeration. Watkins, Hall and Ward were the only ones labelled with concussion last week for the Wigan game. Watkins missed the Hull game with his and the other two suffered there's during the game.

This is the list of guys who got pulled out of the Wigan game and the reasons given

Joel Moon (Achilles), Matt Parcell (neck), Kallum Watkins (concussion and knee), Ryan Hall (concussion), Danny McGuire (hamstring), Adam Cuthbertson (knee), Stevie Ward (concussion) and Brad Singleton (calf)

Who cares about mind games,Players missing games through injury blah,blah,blah

I can't wait for the semi final between 2 very competitive sides and may the best side win

Are you guys at full strength for this ? Think it will be very tight and intense. Looking forward to it as a neutral.

Just Steve Michaels unavailable I believe.

I'm not fully convinced he would replace either of them beasts

Just hoping for a great game and good craic. As a Leeds fan I obviously want us to win, however, all my partners side are Hull fans so I get to go to Wembley either way. Enjoyed last year with you guys so win win for me

I'd love to know what type of RL supporter gets up on a Saturday morning and thinks to themselves "I think I will take a trumpet to the game today". Bizarre.

Reports of Hull city centre traffic chaos over the weekend due to road closures, so watch out!!

cant wait you cant beat the atmosphere at a big game like this .you do not get it on tv worth every penny coyh

Just watching a few clips from last year and boy the adrenaline is rushing again come on you ullllllll can't wait.

Well whatever happens nothing can ever eclipse last year's final and Tackle 52. Ever. As Ellis would say "Pure joy!. Unforgettable

Just watched last years final again. Even though I know exactly what is going to happen my heart was still racing, my fingernails are now gone. I am sat in my living room at 2 in the morning, dvd just ended, black and white cat on the chair next to me, beaming smile on my face, I must look like a right daft bugger at the moment! hahahaha

This club is my life, I live and breath Hull FC and no one will be able to take away the memories of last years cup. If you can count memories as a treasured possession then tackle 52 is my most precious and I will enjoy telling the grandchildren about it sometime long in the future (I'm still free and single girls ) and I will tell them how I stood in line for 5 hours to buy tickets for this game today!
I can be one of those old boys that are always at the games, telling people about the most obscure, random games from the 60s, except it will be 2050 and I will have got to the game in a flying car and the ref will be a robot (robot could probably do a better job than the officials we have at the mo) and KR will still be struggling to get out of the lower divisions

In all seriousness though, build up to the game today has almost seemed like build up to a cup final at times, we will create an incredible atmosphere that will drown out that bleeding band and hopefully lift the players just enough to send us back to another great Wembley final! COME ON U HULL!!!!!!
