Look at the SL table If we lose to Leeds and Cats and Cas win then we look very uncomfortable Also losing to Leeds will be 2 losses in quick succession to 2 teams in the bottom 3

I never really expected to make the play-offs this season. We may miss out given 6 into 5 won't go but even if we do it's hardly a spectacular drama. Mid table, and a CC semifinal for the 3rd time in 4 years. Saints are fantastic this year and should take the treble with ease. Off the back of an 11 run losing streak and taking a raft of injuries into this year we've done well IMO and have made some good acquisitions. Plenty to feel good about.
The club tweeted yesterday that we've sold 1000+ away tickets for the tenth time this season which is a great effort but maybe not that surprising as we seem to be better away from the kcom

We are on track to win 3 league matches in a row against Leeds - we last did it 28 years ago. In the past 4 league games at Headingley in 3 of them we have lost by 2,3 and 4 points so pretty close matches. Would help if Ben Thaler is the referee as we have won our last 2 against them when he was officiating!
On a personal note the only Hull away league game I have been to since leaving the UK over 50 odd years ago was at Headingley in 2014 when Ellis played against his old club after returning from Aus. Remember a crowd of around 15,000 and losing 20-6.

Load of rubbish, we finish outside the 5 and lose the semi, surely from the position we are in now, that would be classed as a poor season. Regardless of expectations before the season had even started. You'd think, we had a good season, if we escaped relegation by a point. Sad

That’s a truly incredibly piece you’ve written there Maybe Germany still keeping the Channel Islands would have been ok To finish 6th and lose in a CC semi final is total garbage It’s more ‘ Jam tomorrow ‘ It’s more and more mediocrity
I’m not having a pop at you but more the sentiment is something I have to call out

Agree 100%. We haven't had the injury excuse for at least the last 10 games, and we've certainly been no worse off than most teams in the league for months. Failing to make top5 after having a nice cushion in 3rd would be poor, but it wouldn't shock me with this team.

Granted I'd be disappointed if we finished outside the play-offs from this position, not so much the semi provided we put in a good performance as Warrington are a good side, however I'm not sure being determined to see the positives and not get too wound up by everything is sad.

Hahahaha Nice try but that's too obvious trolling.
