Makes no sense? We've put 60 on Featherstone and nearly 40 on Halifax?

I expect a tough game, and the fact we've been in more tough games this year will stand us in good stead. You're not a Championship side, that's the difference (but played Championship sides all year - that's my point!).

Betts knows all about this division, he coached in it for 4 years.

Both teams will be desperate for the win.Bookies give Widnes a 2pt start so very close game expected . As a fan I'm taking nothing for granted but looking at squads and key injuries for them it's there if we are good enough on day

Weather and officials may have a big say in the result.
We are due some luck in a big game.

Indeed.

We deserve some luck whatever IMO.

The current system means that if you are relegated you are given a cut of £1million in funding but can only come back if you can beat teams who retain full funding. In other words...here's 750k ....if you can be better than teams with £1.8m funding you can come back.

We are within distance of achieving just that...if achieved it won't be luck it will be a wonderful achievement.

We beat both London and Batley 58-18 in last seasons middles and it counted for nothing in the end.

Widnes are playing some good stuff and even with their injuries they have some good players.

That said this isn't the plagatron 3000 pitch and u should expect a welcome akin to a Galatasaray away supporter... Welcome to Hull!

Due some luck?
Widnes lose 3 key players for this match
Catalan lose 2 key players in Bird and Walsh

Still hurts doesn't it?

Walsh will play against us maybe not this weekend, no sympathy for bird he's just a dirty bast.

Knowing our luck, even if we manage to squeeze by Widnes, Leigh will beat Warrington.

Been to see both your matches away at Leigh this year, not that impressed to be honest



Was very confident after our match with Leigh last week.

However Hanbury, Craven and Bridge are massive losses for us. The weather wont help either, we always seem to do crap in the wet.

I am hopeful we can win but I think the bookies have it right to put you guys slight favourites!
