| League or CC?
I am not sure, Gentle says we've got enough points and the Wigan and L**ds games don't matter, I am not so sure, I'd love a Wembley trip, but I'd love a great SL table position as well.
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.........

| In an ideal world we'll win both this year!
But, I'd love for FC to win at Wembley, so I'd say the Cup this year and the League next year.

| The most important thing is that we continue to improve.
Cup run would be nice this year but in fairness with the way our club is being run now i'm convinced we'll have some silverware in the next couple of years
exciting times ahead

| Another plus with a good cup run is the money it will bring into the club.

| One no more important than the other. We enter 2 comps every year and should be aiming to win both.

| I don't think this season we will have much success in either but I am just happy with the teams continual improvement.
For me a good tilt at the play offs is all I'd like and what I think is achievable. With players returning and our improved style of play and self belief we might just might be able to have an impact come the business end of the season.

| I don't care if we drop out the cup tomorrow, and finish 8th or 9th, I just want us to beat Wovers and Leeds.

Hope you're joking, if not you're an idiot.
As said, both are important - Gentle's comments suggest to me that a) He's taking the pressure off the Leeds/Wigan and b) He recognises, obviously, that tomorrow's game is more important than the Leeds/Wigan game as a lose tomorrow is the end of the cup for a season.

I was joking yeah, but I would like to see our record against Leeds improve, with Gentle though I think our record against everyone will improve

| Think Adam would appreciate a good cup run for the coffers, as the crowds are slower than anticipated to return.
No reason we shouldn't have both. In the short term we need to win tomorrow at all costs - lots of time left to secure a decent play-off position in the league.

| The two competitions are equally important, however the Challenge Cup undoubtedly brings greater financial rewards and a higher profile and we need that monkey off our back. Personally I'd be happy to finish in the bottom three this season and win at Wembley.
We are not quite ready to seriously challenge for the Grand Final so this year the Cup holds our best chance of silverware. It's a massive task tomorrow but should we win there's a good chance of drawing a Championship club in the fifth round.

I now believe the Grand Final has become the biggest game of the year, eclipsing the CC final in terms of prestige and importance. However, for us I think it is at least twelve months too early to make a serious tilt at the title (even with our excellent start to the season).
The CC represents our best hope of landing silverware this year and that is what makes tomorrow important.
I think most of us on here are just looking for a steady improvement in our regular season performances with the real crack at the title to come in the next 2/3 years.
But the Cup is certainly not beyond us in 2012. Don't forget that in 2008 we were absolutely pants for most of the year and yet found ourselves fifteen minutes away from lifting the old tin pot.
Of course we didn't meet anyone of Huddersfields calibre that year prior to Wembley, but victory tomorrow followed by a favourable draw in the next round will at least get us all dreaming a little bit.
After that, a bit of lady luck here and there coupled with a big performance (which this team is certainly capable of) on the right afternoon and, hey who knows, we could be celebrating at Wembley in the August sunshine yet.
Either way, the exciting thing for all of us is not whether we win or lose tomorrow, but what the next 4/5 years could bring for our club.

| As already said on here, I want to see the steady improvement of the team and once Gentle has got the team something like then the silverware and finals shouldn't be too far away. I want to see the injuries dry up and watch the team play with an almost full squad, I want the missing supporters to return and give Adam Pearson some more money to spend on the developement of the club. If I'm forced, then this season I would like to see a Wembley final and challenge cup win just to shut the dobbins up! Its been a long time since i've had a warm feeling inside about Hull FC. WE are in safe and capable hands and we will be a top four team very very soon.

I don't know what it is with AP but he oozes something that fills me with great confidence. Every time I see him I'm reminded of a scene from Red Dwarf when Ace Rimmer enters a room, what a guy
Smoke me a kipper skipper, I'll be back for the Challenge cup final
