I know we've exceeded many fans expectations already this season without touching any silverware , But to come this far in all 3 comps and come away with nothing would be disappointing . I think Mrs B is just messing around with her rugby gods !!!

Wouldn't be disappointed in the slightest. 6th was the target for me pre season so to be where we are today is absolute dreamland. Been going way too long to expect anything in the way of trophies - 2 in 27 years for goodness sake - so from 8th last year to this is amazing. The reality is that we're underdogs with bookies for both competitions for a reason. Hoping like everyone else for an upset in our favour but realistic and proud of so many performances this year.

Think a few players need a rest before wembley for us to have a shot, is Leon injured? Would have expected him at 6 on Friday and can see him being more than useful at Wembley.

I'd heard that Pryce has had more knee problems, but was in contention for the cas game.

Think at this point of the season any club in our position would be more than happy. I think what both teams also need to think about Is next season and continuing the improvement. Leeds and saints will be stronger next season and catalogs n can could have a run at the top4 also so neither team can rest on the laurels

My hubby asked today what the deal is for the world club challenge selection of teams. Presumably it's the grand finalists and CC winner unless there's some overlap in which case it's discretionary by the RFL?

I've heard the rfl are giving a place for the wcc to the league winners of the middle 8 , joking aside I wouldn't be shocked if Leeds still didn't represent in the wcc !!

Consensus seems to be CC winners, GF winners, LLS winners, then if duplicated whoever the RFL like the best.

It's also whichever club will stump up over 100k to play in it too

Talk a few months back is the WCC will feature fewer clubs .

It would be disappointing if it was cut down

Maybe it could be gf winners v gf winner

And cc winners vs their equivalent

Christ on a bike. Add on the Allam's stadium usage charge and if we qualified I doubt we'd bother

They don't have an equivalent.

I think it's the 3 trophy winners now, if one team won all 3, GF loser and highest league finish.

Dezzies right hook is correct, the automatic team is the GF winners, then after that, it's whoever can afford to host it. It's not cheap and I'm not sure it's worth it revenue wise.

If you have a big fan base you'll make it pay, I'm sure you'd fill the KC if you played a team like Brisbane, Roosters, Souths or Melbourne

im also pretty sure our lesser neighbours will come and support the aussies

If they want to be daft enough to fill the FC coffers, the more the merrier.

We don't take giros!!

Hi everyone, I'm out of the country right now so haven't been able to follow much RL news, how are challenge cup ticket sales going??

up to around 75k tickets sold at the end of the weekend. Reckon around 30k from Hull.

The below image went around Facebook last night with the description - "NEW!! Wembley Ticket news. Hull's Lower Tier is SOLD OUT. Seats in blocks 535-536, 544-545 and 547 are still limited, they are expected to sell out."

Hard to say. The image might only refer to blocks where no seats are available directly from the RFL ticketing site.

I tried to get 122 for 3 people but couldn't so I can only assume that there are odd seats left in 122, 118 and 112.

Clearly you're selling more than us, but I really hope all the seats get sold - no matter to who.

On the match itself, I think it's quite easy to determine tactics to play against us -
high kicks to the wings, and kicks behind the wingers (Sneyd and co.....)
take us on down the middle and control the speed of the ptb (your pack is big enough)
Do that and we've had it this year.

What tactics should we use to beat you?

Hull will sell more, your fan base is double ours, what are the codes for the colours?
Black I assume means sold out, or are they the original ticket pricing colours? Minus the black obviously.
