Aston set to name strong side for Challenge Cup clash - www.thestar.co.uk/sport/other-sp ... -1-7214188

Respect to Lee Radford who,after watching our side,has named his strongest possible squad.

[iHull FC 19-man squad

Shame he has to lose to the 2nd team who play in red this month.

We're fielding our second team, are we ?

Betting Update Hull are 20 Point Favourites for todays game If we play like we did against leigh and stay concentrated to the end we have a good chance of betting the handicap although i cant really see us winning. This will be a good preview of the middle 8's because if the season ended now we would be playing hull away from home. We would be ranked 7th and we would have 3 home games against Halifax Huddersfield Bradford and 4 away games against Hull Leigh Widnes and Wakefield

Thanks for that duggs,
Interesting information.

Big well done to the Hull Fc followers.
Not one has hijacked this forum and bragged about winning,and their owner has not gone on to Tw@tter and told of how he reckons his side will put a hundred on Wakefield and Widnes.

Makes a refreshing change from all things Leigh Centurions.

I think I know how I want the next round to be drawn.

Hoping for a classic this afternoon.

Jealousy is a terrible thing,no wonder you are Cynical,keep looking up at the Mighty Centurions,Charlie knows.

I'm never jealous of "country mile" teams, it generally ends in tears.

Hull Go Through At Eagles Expense - wp.me/p3JxPK-wM I'll put on here what I did on Facebook.. We didn't deserve to win, mainly due to the first half alone. Nothing was going for us in attack, and that's a credit to their defence because we couldn't play the expansive style that we like. Turner's disallowed try knocked the stuffing out of us and that was clear to see. A good effort overall but we've got bigger fish to fry now.

I thought we were unlucky that Jamie Langley was injured during the set they scored the first try.
This seemed to dispirit the players and they lost a bit of organization when he went off.
We did very well at the start of both halves and to fail to win the second half after taking a 12 points lead was really disappointing.

Proud of the players,and the supporters for their vocal encouragement throughout.

Excellent second half performance at half time i thought we might be on the end of a 40/50 point thrashing during the last 2 games we have competed well for periods Leigh it was close until 68th minute and we had lead at 3 different points in the game and against hull from the 35th min to 72nd min we won that period 12-0 Unfortunately we dont have the biggest of squads and with many of our players part timers it is only natural they run out of steam hence from 68th minute to the end of the game in the last 2 games against full time and bigger squads we are 0-30. Which will make qualifying for the super league highly unlikely I cant see us getting 4 victories which will probably be the benchmark for qualification

Apart from Leigh all our other championship rivals lost to super league sides bradford lost by 20 at home to hull kr but the were leading until the 66th minute and Halifax lost by 28 away to bottom club Wakefield

Yes, we were not quite there yesterday. We needed all the crucial calls to go our way and they didn't. The Turner disallowed try would have made for an exciting finish and the advantage call in the first half was another important call, coming as it did just before Lineham's try.

But the bottom line is we didn't complete our sets well enough.

Now concentrating on the league.
