Mr zuchero you think fc will be favourites at rovers away, you might want to go into partnership with Peter barlow giving odds like that PS I will have rovers each way £5..........no scratch that £40 the win

That's the one that will be close on the handicaps, but I would be surprised if the bookies don't make Hull favourites.

And how do you go each way in a two horse race?

Whooossshhh ,it's what Steve McDonald did .Or 3 horse race ,rovers, hull , video ref.

You would still need to win 6 in a row though. I don’t think even the most optimistic Hull FC fan realistically would argue they are challenging for 5th right now .

No only 5.

I agree, 6th is probably the target now, but if we do win tomorrow 5th isn't out the window, Salford and Widnes, with respect, should be foregone conclusions, then theres two fairly difficult games to get 5th. If we win our cup semi final however we will just be looking to cling on to 8th I imagine.

Les Catalans are on 24points, if they win 4 and drop 2 as you stated they need to, they would be in 32 points, Hull are on 20, they win 5 they are on 30 points?

Either way, its just not really realistic. I would think it possible if they were just chasing one of the teams, I just can’t see Hull out performing all of St’s, Les Catalans, and HKR, (and Wakefield) to the level needed

Nope, two evenly matched sides but I think Bradford will just have the edge due to home advantage.

I think it's a fair assessment to be honest

Tears of laughter drying. Have to say, that was fun!!!

How stupid do you look now?

thank you, Nostradamus

All together now, lol at FC and their "big club" delusions.

A good game and entertained all the way. Turned out to be a good choice by Sky afterall. Surely time-up now for Gentle ?

Hope you don't use your superior knowledge for gambling purposes

Ha luckily not in this instance. Can't rely on Hull for anything...

I agree. The cracks are clearly visible.

But we're off to Wembley

Are you going in the Wigan end or the Warrington end?

You're not going anywhere.

Warrington will beat you by about 16 points in the semi. Hull KR are in a decent position in the playoffs, their season will probably end up ammounting to more than yours.

That's the magic of the Challenge Cup. Luck of the draw and the also rans can be in the final.
I recall it happening to Featherstone.

Yeah because we've been really fortunate so far in drawing Catalans away followed by wire in the semi.

I would say you were fortunate to play Catalans on a day when their ability to hold on to possession was abysmal. If you beat Warrington I'll concede that you've had a tough encounter on the way to the final.

Then again....you haven't beaten them yet, have you?

The only team who has benefitted from a favourable draw is wigan.

Never in all my life have I seen such a p*ss easy run to the final. Home games, crap teams, the works. Even in the semi, when you normally get at the very least a half decent team they get london. Literally, it would have been hard for them to f*ck that up and not make the final. Their under 18's could probably have made the final.

Their supporters must be p*ssing themselves, they've bascially been given a bye into the final, right from the first round.

All we'd need now is for hull to beat warrington and that'll complete the set, a CC on a plate. I hope the RFL give them a knife and fork with it.

At worst warrington win and they just have that one tough game. After repeatedley losing dozens of semi finals over recent years i guess they're owed one.

We are in the semi final on merit, and deserve our place. Will we beat wire? Highly unlikely but stranger things have happened, it's a welcome distraction from our dire league form and if we can pull it off then you won't see many hull fans complaining about a trip to wembley.

Why are you bothered about hull fc? Not worried are you?
