So that's on thread then!

The level of enthusiasm for the Wakefield game is so low on the Forum.

The general malaise must be the same in the FC dressing room.

The loss to Wigan at home has seen the season go into a dismal tail spin with shocking losses to Wakefield and Rovers.

Boy we really need to turn it around both on and off the pitch.

In an attempt to bring this thread back from the pathetic abyss above which it teeters.....

Yes, he isn't the best half in the world at present but he offers more of a running threat than either Snyed or Abdul in my opinion.
He has scored a couple of decent tries by running at the line so far this year, including one against a certain other Hull team.

Also we might as well give him some more game time given the largely academic nature of the upcoming fixtures.

The top 4 teams will lose 6 games between them (they have to play each other).

If we beat them, they'll lose 10 games between them, so we're getting closer.

I guess Catalans might be thinking the same, so that would help us.

How about that for optimism?

(Draws are bad news.)

The frustrating thing is that if we'd turned in just a couple of better performances we'd be within a realistic distance.

However all we can control as a club is our own performance so we need to go win as many games as we can and see where that takes us.

you are forgiven,go in peace my son.may the force be with you,but not your team on Friday.

IF we win our first 3 games in the 8's and Wire lose at least 2, (one against us), then the deficit is down to three points.


We need Wire to have pre and post wembley wobbles and for us to win 6 of our games to stand a chance.


Wishful thinking??? Perhaps,

To be fair anything is possible and if Huddersfield, Catalans & Wakey can turn in performances and take pts from the likes of Cas & Warrington its still a possibility as long as we take maximum pts or as near as.

The disappointing thing is losing to Wakey & Rovers and in the manner we did has cost us dearly, but while its mathematically possible we can but hope.

There is every chance that we (Wire) will have at least a post Wembley wobble. When you come to our place we will be on the back of a five day turn around vs your thirteen days recovery.

No offense, but we would see Huddersfield as posing a far greater threat to taking our play off spot than your good selves. Aside from being a point above you they have been the inform team (behind Saints) for the second half of the season.

With a six point start, and only fourteen more points on offer, it would be catastrophic if we didn't make the top four. However, a Cup Final place has made things quite a bit harder for us and probably makes it even more likely that we'll be facing Saints in the semi final.

No complaints though after where we were this time last year.
