Daryl is class absolute class. He is my choice for Man of Steel

Your pack hasn't been tested for the last two weeks. I'd be worried about that if I was a Hull supporter. And do you think tackling our forwards wont be a challenge? It'll be a tough test but the two game you've played us in so far have each been won by 2 points. you've hardly blown us off the park. fact of the matter is all the pressure is on Hull going into this game, the question is do they have the stones to win it when it counts?

Also, don't be too surprised if Dodds gets a place if Westerman isn't fit. Or even if he is fit to be honest.



You heard it here first.

I'm not worried at all. Although the games looked relatively easy in reality they were games against 2 of the top 8 so still a more than decent work out but we dominated both so they were good indicators for me. I've not suggested we'll blow you off the park but was responding to someone who claims you'll tire our forwards out on the day which I don't see happening. As for pressure, I'm sure we'll cope although as the bookie's favourites I think there's a fair amount on your team too.



I expect us to lose as it's at wembley but I don;t think there's much between the sides and it will likely only be won by less than 2 scores on the day IMO

Well actually we haven't heard anything, so if you know something more than we do please share that.

Surely not?

As much as I'd love to see this happen I don't believe that for a second. Smith said a couple of weeks ago in the WG that Wembley was to soon as he wasn't even running "at full pelt" yet.



Do you know something everyone else doesn't?

I'm not saying its nailed on by any means and I doubt he'll feature (I'd be concerned if he was). I just wouldn't be surprised if he gets the nod.

Jake. Sorry, I know Hull will be no pushover at all and I am not optimistic at all. I was suggesting that we will have to put an incredible effort in to stand a chance. The 2 games I have seen between us were close. We had phases where we looked like we were getting on top in the middle only for a few dropped balls and penalties gave you a breather and Hull came back stronger. Warrington went through a spell of say 7-8 mins where Hull looked a bit tired but one error meant that the pressure was removed. We need to sustain that for much longer but that would be the same against any decent team. My worry is that we have not done that since about April.

I think maybe an ideal start for Dodds would be one of the dead rubbers after Wembley ,either Catalans or Widnes. Failing that ,i can't see him featuring at all this season.

There are no dead rubbers after Wembley. Every game is a must win to secure finishing top. TS has said that whilst they are in contention we are aiming for all 3. We need to get out of this attitude that games don't matter. All games matter.

They are dead rubbers for the teams he pointed out....

Anyways.....more chance of Ken Dodd than Mitch!
