We need to be professional like the second half against Catalan. respect our possession and cut out the daft penalties and most of all put pressure on Austin and dont take his dummies. As long as its not raining we will bet Warrington
Rubber duckie.
I see it differently being a Wire.
Wire was making good metres in the first half on the very few occasions there was ball in hand... However fatigue from the first period of defensive 11 kicked in during a spell of the last 1/4 compounded with some sinful penalties whilst in possession.
Quite how Tim Sheen sees KR as being the better team, I don't know. Although credit for turning the screw in that period and making a cup tie out of it.
Hoping now we get you noisy black and white neighbours and stick 50 on them.
Long time to go till the end of july,injuries will probably play a major part.All teams have key players,houghton,kelly,taylor,shaul are four that spring to mind for hull,take austin,clark,ratchford and charnley out of warry and the situation changes. As it stands now it depends which hull turns up,but a lot of water to flow under the bridge before the end of july and as it stands now its a spin of a coin.

If that's the case why aren't we currently the same odds as Warrington?

Ive worked for a bookies for 25years and trust me they get it wrong quite often,they benefit from the fact of mug punters which are far more prevailent than shrewd punters,its a game of odds which a bookie has in his favour.In answer to your question,explain to me why joshua was 1/25 and ruiz 20/1.Do you seriously think favs always win.?I credited you with a bit more about you than that,but I was obviously wrong.

Back on topic will be happy for Hull to play Warrington in the Semi.
Pleased I stirred your teenage memories Freddie, will you come back for the final, should we progress.

Well no, that would be silly. Look at Hull FC in 2016 for example and the very long odds you could have got on us ending the Wembley hoodoo and yet it still happened. You state as fact that it's 50/50. The fact that we're nowhere near equivalent odds to Warrington indicates differently.
