Having watched the Saints match and heard the Wire commentary Hudds start as favourites for the final imo.

The main weapon is if TS can come up with a game plan to thwart Hudds style of play.

Hudds attack well and defend even better.

Definately start as favourites for me.

Sorry to say.

i was posting the same thing as you posted yours. I must add that you should give it a watch. Read my post and you'll see what i mean.

Hudds should be -6/8, 4/7,1/2 favs anyway.Just wish I'd taken the 10/11.
Cant see us winning another game this season

some bookies av us as favs...shop about you can get evens for hudds not that i would take it.....

Dont care who is fav

Looks like Kirmond is out with knee ligaments and Finnigan is on report for a high tackle (I think he'll be OK but still worrying for the lad).

Any news on your team, did you get through unscathed?

i think we'd be all happy if wire were favourites.

we are always the outsiders,always the underdogs, always the poor relations.
we were massive outsiders against leeds in 2006
we were massive outsiders against saints this year
we were massive outsiders tonight

and we turn odds and predicitons on their heads.
so wire clear favourites for me

Looked fine should be 100% next week if Hicks, King and Harrison are ready.

Hopefully they do, wouldn't wish an injury on anyone ahead of a cup final, at last we can now think about Wembley with no games to worry about

Hudds are big favourites imo.

look at the table and recent form to see that.

You wouldnt bet against Hudds now

it doesnt matter as we will suddenly be amazing next week but tbh id love us to win obviously but we deserve naffall

And why is that?

cause we aint putting the effort in in the league we shouldnt be conceding 40 points at home to a wakey side missing there best player

The Wigin performance i can kinda understand, however some of the effort put in tonight was shoddy and poor. Doesn't fill me with confidence for next week.

But they proved tonight they are not just a one man band and can do just as well without him.

wot? if we are good enough to get to the final then why aint we good enough get top 8 out of 14 teamsicon_neutral.gif thats embarrasing

Jesus christ

good! hull kr and wigan were both favorites......1 bring on the giants!

It sort of does the opposite for me, difficult to explain.

We've always been Jekyll & Hyde.

In my head, I know we'll perform next week. Whether Huddersfield are better, I haven't a clue, but I know we'll perform. It's rare we don't in 'big games', hence why our Saints games are always great for the neutral.

Credit Wakefield tonight sure, bag Warrington too, clear as day to me we had 17 fellas, playing well within themselves, from a defensive point of view, the highest tackle must have been moob height, nobody was getting chops high, as you weren't prepared to run the RFL gauntlet and miss the biggest occasion of your life, this is why there was so much second phase ball, as it was leg tackling, arms still free etc.

We need to sort out that ruck business again, lazy there tonight, Drew & Latu killed us, Moore would love that next week, sort that. All in all, I think Smith will have his horlicks tonight, and be quietly pleased it's out of the way. If we're sat here, having lost Monas & Morley say for next week, that's a tough one to swallow.

Defence will win the game,,,so Hudds,,,by a point......should be a cracker....

what is the matter with all this negativity
headin down to the oval tomorrow to watch england
win the ashes , stayin down to watch lancs win at lords
on wednesday then the cherry on top of the cake wire win
at wembley
now the wire

JWP, you are the best. I d think you should do this for a living.

a wakey side who are 5 places higher than you, you mean?
