The final is not for another month, if it was next week then maybe the tougher game against Wigan would come to it but it doesn't

In your opinion. Not sure what reliance I'd place on that tbh given we're top of the league and in a major final:

Happy with that.
There was probably more money already on Warrington because of their easier semi-final draw. Perhaps there'll be a slight adjustment in the next few days. Or maybe it is just that Warrington won it 3 years out of 4 not so long ago.
For me, Warrington need to do something a little bit out of the ordinary to win. they are capable of that, but Hull if 'just' turn up and do what they have done most of the year, that will probably be enough.

Very close one to call for sure. As irritating as Sandow is, he's got way more X Factor than any other player involved IMO. Hull will depend on cohesion and concentration.

We will have to put in the defensive performance of our season and it still may not be enough to win if sandow plays to his potential on the day. We've kept him relatively quiet twice this season so let's hope we do it a 3rd time. I have a bad feeling about this one already, having been to 6 finals to watch us there and never having seen us win

Ticketing arrangements seem to have been well thought through for once anyway and they're indulging the love of queuing that for many is part of the big occasion build-up. Not sure whether to go on a corner or right behind the posts. http://www.hullfc.com/news/2016-07-30-c ... et-details
