Do you actually believe that a 7 day turn around between fixtures is a disadvantage?
IMO It's hardly a short turn around is it?
Hypothetically speaking here
If Hull FC put out a full side v Catalans and lose,then surely Wolves squad selection is down to TS is it not?
He could choose to rest some of your squad or even the majority of it as a result could he not?
Then your rested players would have had a near 2 week rest prior to Wembley
Surely that would make your club clear favourites for the CC?
The majority of sides that have actually won Grand Finals over the years under the old format have in fact benefited from not having the week off and they have said that playing each week is the better preparation
IF you think that a 7 day turn around is harsh on your club then IMO you are looking for excuses
