Tigers Hold On For Close Win Over FC Hull FC had twice beaten the runaway leaders of Super League, Castleford Tigers, in 2017 which increased the anticipation of tonight’s fixture at the Mend-a-Hose Jungle.
The Tigers are on an eleven months unbeaten home run but FC won the league encounter 26-24 in April and a fortnight ago by 32-24 in the Challenge Cup. The Tigers were eager to ensure that lightening didn’t strike for a third time as they looked to open up an eight point gap at the top.
Michael Shenton was back in the lineup for the Tigers but there was no Andy Lynch or Matt Cook. Albert Kelly and Mark Minichiello were welcome returnees for Hull but they didn’t have the services of late withdrawal Carlos Tuimavave

Yet again Powell blames his players for letting FC back into the game, Pillock. In my opinion we beat them them with a dissalowed try.

The only way Cas will get anywhere in the playoffs will be if they get a one sided ref every game, last night was nothing to boast about for Cas, it was a game they didn't win, FC lost it!

You guys just need to focus on actually getting in the playoffs. Wakey might only be 1 point off you by tonight. And with 2 potential monster cup games, every chance you may fade off somewhat.

We're guranteed to be in the playoffs, worry about your own side, the LLS means nothing.

Yes. The playoffs are the top 4 after 30 rounds. Not the super 8s. And by tonight you may only be 1 point above 5th. Do I think hull will be in the top 4 , yes. Is it guaranteed, not just yet it isn't...
