That's the spirit, I'm with you on this 1

Well we are joint third. There are no excuses needed for a loss against a team that's also joint third, they are there for a reason, that being they are decent enough



Yes, that's pretty much what I said other than the predicted outcome, but we're all entitled to different opinions on that, right? Bookies made an industry out of it.

What a lovely start to the day. That's going in my sig.



It is worth reminding people about. Some on here post more about me than they did about winning at Wembley. Mind-boggling that these achievements are dismissed so readily.
He might well do. I've not said it's impossible and said I hope it will be close. My opinion is that if Fifita keeps up his MoS points spree and they get early ball wide we might struggle. Our edge defence wasn't amazing last week.

I do value Radford highly, unlike many. I also think our side's biggest weakness, as stated many times, is our pack, and I'm a big fan of Wakefield's. Without a platform any set of halves struggle to manage a game.
It's just a bit tricky aligning the position 4 weeks ago of Radford putting the club in imminent club danger and needing removal with expecting him to oversee a straightforward win against a club in joint 3rd.

"Expect the worst, hope for the best, take what comes" as my Nana used to say. We will all be there tomorrow wanting the same thing.

The last paragraph regardless of our persuasions is something we can all agree. We all just choose different paths to get there and shouldn't be lambasted for it.

always said you was my best mate lol

It’s a love in

Hull to win by 12

I would like to see a similar game plan, as to that utilised against Catalan. Radford got it spot on that day but think the heat and the early morning flight all played a part in FC tiring late on. Home venue and Wakey supposedly understrength, I’m going for another close game with us winning by 8

Wakey by 6, just because of the superior strength in their forwards (hope I'm wrong!)

Mrs B and Bombed Out in mutual admiration society. Who would have thought it??

Like May and Corbyn having a lovely pint together

Superior strength in the forwards! Really , you mean fiffita? Considering most rate Taylor as a world class forward , I don’t see how that’s the case , 1 man doesn’t make a team , they’ve plenty of injuries to. I know the game ain’t played on paper, but looking at the 2 17s , we should be winning this . If not , then questions do need asking why we haven’t , making excuses for a defeat before we’ve even played mrs b is just ridiculous. Looking forward to this one , COYH

Surely no one can doubt a near full strength Hull side will beat a depleted wakefield? Especially when you take into account that we are coached by our most successful coach in 2 generations and wakey by the hull kr cast off? Where's your belief?

Er, no - not just Fifita! He's the standout forward, but what about: Pauli Pauli (6ft 5ins, 18st 13lb), Keegan Hirst (6ft 5ins, 19st 3lb), Craig Kopczak (6ft 4ins, 17st), Justin Horo (6ft 3ins, 15st 10oz), with Tinirau Arona for good measure (he's a relative lightweight at 5ft 11ins and 16st 10lb!

Oh right it’s all about size then !! That’s not the wife says

We’ve some pretty big lads in green Ellis and masi, westermans a unit, manu easily as big as arona , so yeh , not sure what’s so superior

Hull by 14+ ... need to be winning this and should be . Wakey are a good side but there missing Johnson tupou Miller brough and 2 good back rowers , all who were in form and and a big part of there team .

Wakefield's pack seems to have the most go-forward of any in superleague this season, BUT I just hope you're right and we match them tomorrow

Correct, and their size should certainly be a concern for our pack that was comprehensively rolled on Monday. Let's hope we get a platform for Kelly, Connor and Sneyd.

This.

Their creativity and key strike players are missing. Yes, Fifita is a great player, but one prop will not win you a game. Pauli will score tomorrow as he will trample over one of outR smaller players.

Hull need to be patient and keep turning Wakey forwards around.

Hull by 14-18

Have faith , look what happens to us when we don’t have our first choice half’s , and a few injuries . It won’t be easy don’t get me wrong, but we’ll have to much for them with our strong spine and lots of intensity , which I’m definitely expecting after that shower last Monday

Weather likely to favour wakeys monster pack

Not really we beat them in terrible conditions

What a dirge the first half of Wigan v Cas has been. Both sides look tired.

Dreadful game. The weather didn't help but the effects of the Easter weekend clearly on show.

Good result for us though. Up to third, remarkably, if we win tomorrow.

dry day forecast tomorrow.
