You can recover from a loss in SL and still win, that's never the case in a cup comp.
For me I'm torn, prefer both plus kicking some Aussie booty next year but I'm going to plump for a GF win ever so slightly over a CC win. The never won at wembley thing doesn't bother me and even though Dave 'I can't commentate for shizzle' Woods mentions it every match of ours he does and the dobbins fans knock one out over it, it's absolutely meaningless. Where doesn't matter, it's never mattered, that you've won does.
Can you believe were contemplating either after having no loyalty, and posting complete bollox on here for a long period. You nearly make me spew.

It's going to happen . Your always going to get fickle fans , glory hunters , individuals who backtrack after been critical of the club . The Radflrd out banners .etc .. etc ..boycotts against Adam .
But the water has calmed now and it's happy days . Hull are favourites for the CC and GF .

Who the French Connection UK are you trying to convince about favourites daft @rse? Theres no such thing unless you've just broke up for your holidays? I'm proud of my team this year, and what will be will be.

"In fact, the days of us signing any players from across the river are over. Our fans are loyal, passionate and only interested in one club. Taking players from our nearest rivals doesn't fit in with that brief."
Justifiably too. And good to be underdogs. As WIZEB points out, it's been a fantastic season so far, and completely beyond expectations. Anything from here on in is a bonus.

Challenge Cup for me. Some say the Wembley thing doesn't bother them, which is fair enough, but the personal history/disappointment I have with the Wembley trips and the fact it's alluded our club for so long, means it beats the Grand Final at the moment.
Once we win a Wembley CC Final it'll change of course. I think the GF is a harder comp to win, & I imagine most coaches & players would prefer that one.

What the fack are you on abt? Grow up ffs, I posted my opinion and a certain amount of undisputable facts.if you don't like debate or people's opinions love off somewhere else. Who the love are you to be trying to throw your weight around meathead. As for loyalty, you simply haven't got a sodding clue. Go troll somewhere else.
