I'm going to call it. I think we will finish strong and Cas will struggle with inconsistency. I think we will be top at season end.

... the club website reckons it's the best ever hull comeback in superleague.

agreed

Yes, our best comeback in the Super League era.

Obviously there's last year's Good Friday comeback from 0-20. Then there's the 1999 comeback againmst Halifax Blue Sox. 0-20 with twenty minutes left, we pulled it back to 12-20 then Fax kicked a drop before we went on to win 24-21 with a last minute Graham Hallas try. Two Bobs kicked four from four goals.

I think the official record best comeback was Wigan at Rovers a few years back, won after being 0-26 down.

Let's focus on making the 8 first.

What's funny about that?

The team who has been 8th in the previous 2 years of this 8's format have been on 20 points after 23 rounds, looking quite similar this year. Don't think you, Cas, Leeds or Salford need to worry about Middle 8's now. For those 4 teams it's about how well placed you can be when you enter the Super 8's. Seen in previous years that it's tough for those outside the top 4 to catch up in the Super 8's if the points gap is too wide.

We need to finish top 4 to get the 4 home games in the super 8's and to be in with a good shout of top 4 after them. We have away games against the 4 teams who have already beaten us at home so it's far from guaranteed we'll pick up enough points. Whilst we won today, we won;t be coming back from 22 nil down against the likes of cas, leeds and salford so need to pick up our form again quickly. 4 really important games coming up, all of them winnable and which will put us in a good position for the remaining games before the split

I'd like to hope we can avoid the middle 8s, but let's take nothing for granted yet.
