If you look at the wire 19 announced id say we are deffo going for as big a points haul as poss,looks like TS wants 2nd spot?

My head says Warrington but my heart always says Hull. Getting a bit a tingle in my stomach already, nothing like a match day as an Fc fan to get the nerves going.

Think we might lose track of how many high balls will be heading our fullbacks way tonight.

How about Hall fielding the first one with ease and returning it well into Wire's half for good measure.

Hall to have a stormer tonight and make Wire wish they'd thought of a different game plan.

My guess is that Wire will want to throw it around and Hull will play the grinding, more patient game up the middle. Hull after all are missing Tansey, Calderwood, Horne, and Long so they don't have much choice. I would imagine TS won't want his pack to get too embroiled with the Hull pack because it will take it out of them for next week but you really need to create some sort of platform for Briers to work his magic from.

As a Hull fan, I worry that we have been a little easy to go around on the outside throughout the season and Wire are great exponents of the expansive game. You never know though, we are 4th and that's not by accident which means we have managed to find a way of winning without Long and Horne this year and with a slightly more depleted squad (some might say) we didn't fare that badly against Warrington at the KC.

Not easy

With a few players in dispute Dowes and Radford , its hardly a good time to be playing anyone let alone the Wire. The team spirit will have a lot to play in this and I think the tank is getting a little low at the moment. We need out big boys to smash seven bells out of the Wire for a the first ten or so and plant injury visions in there minds. I know that sounds a bit harsh , the game is rugby league not tiddly winks and if a bit of hard rugby puts a team heading to Wembley off then so be it.

it will be close or we will get mullered, over 30+ ....................

Wire 60 - 6 FC.

Pretty much how I see it. How we handle their first bomb may well set the tone for the game..

on another thread earlier in the week someone said ( cant remember who) hulls pack should start the game with big hits to unsettle wires pack, i think this would be a clever tactic to use with wire in the final next week, its human nature to sub consously become over protective of yourself thus dropping your own intesity levels, however i cant see us getting anything tonight but, it would be interesting to see how wires react to such a tactic.

I predict I will be hammered by half time, to help!!

depends on which chanel your watching

jesus that sounds painful

Is that like broken glass bumming?

Typical men.....Going too far now!!

It's just like ordinary bumming, but with sand. You can try your own variations if you like. Broken glass, pickled onion flavour Monster Munch...the world is your oyster.

I thought it was not going far enough

Behave you

Briers won't be playing.

I only want no injuries, to be honest, I would rather just let them have 2 points now!

With no injuries your pack is more than a match for any side on their day. Probable the worst
pack to play against a week before the CC final. Tonights forward battle should be a great watch.

Almost!

I would say we have a winner Paul

Spot on

20 points ...Almost

well i got that one right
