I’ve backed Hull at minus 3.5
10/1 beautiful odds
Also backed them bigger at Plus 18.5 start
We will not give up OUR Cup easy and may even surprise a few doubters
It’s not top v bottom and it’s a total one off
Anything can happen
A sending off for them ?
An injury ?
Anything can happen in one off and we can win

I've not seen it elsewhere (apologies if I've just missed it), any idea who is refereeing etc?

Ben Thaler is referee and I believe James Child is VR.

thanks

we need to be "squeaky clean" then!

No one gives FC a chance today. Being the eternal optimist that I am, I like those odds. The Cup has been special, the last 2 seasons, pulling of some excellent results. I think Lee Radford can do it again, obviously up against it with injuries but Saints haven’t been tested with the type of defence FC are capable of, on they’re day, plus we can score tries. Pressure them and frustration will set in because so much is expected of them this season. Just my opinion, obviously.

Not sure Tuimavae will be playing as just seen him driving past and would have thought the team would already be on their way or at least be together ready to set off.

On his way to get the coach? Even if he wasn't playing you would expect him to be there with the squad.

Thats what I thought at first but then saw the time.

I don't think they like to get there all that early though do they? Even setting off now you would be there no worse than an hour and a half before kick-off.

On Ladbrokes Saints 1/6, we're 5/1. Seems about right.
