But they did manage to hang on to the likes of Tilse so they're obviously a quality outfit.

Back for first round of 8s hopefully

Anyone got an idea of how many fans Wigan are bringing?? Just noticed on our twitter it says home sections are just about completely sold out so looking at biggest crowd of year so far.

Less than 250 home tickets left, so buy online now if you still haven't got one!

No idea on the Wigan following, but it will need to be a decent one to beat the Cas crowd last month.

I hate it when they say all home areas are sold, yet there will be the north stand empty, a full block kept unsold between the Wigan and hull fans, and then the top tier

Table looking very good for us if we win today

Can't wait for tonight let's get the place bouncing coyh.

Weather forecast not too promising.

Quite, it was predicting heavy rain for pretty much bang on 5pm over Hull on last night's weather forecast and doesn't seem to have changed much, mater and I wanted to cycle from Sutton but if it's going to lash it down.

You must've come on a tandem, come on a tandem, you must've come on a tandem!

Current radar pic is showing little rain around except west of uk. Might be rain has moved north. If we get any it might just be showers

The forecast on bbc1 tv @13:00 was terrible during the game.

The bbc web forecast says rain @16:00 for 8 hours.

Since the bbc ditched the met office their forecasting has been awful, as has the graphics, which used to be so easy to follow.

The met office forecast for the game is much better, infact, the whole afternoon/evening - I'll take that one.

Nah, my audax bike that I travelled up with on the train so I can get about Hull when visiting and mater has her step through.
We still might, I'll be wearing my Hull FC cycling jersey anyway as it's a lot cooler than the club shirt.

@CCS, yes noticed the beeb has gone downhill of recent times and use the Met site for the mostpart, the radar pic on tv showed a large purple blob over Hull but Met showing only 10% chance of rain now but 90% for heavy rain as the match finishes. decisions, decisions.

We've only beaten Wigan once in 10 home games - is that right?

What is it with Wigan and Leeds?

They are slowing our play the ball down a treat, we've had no tempo and our attack is lacking as a result. Scramble defence is saving us at the moment. That, and Faraimo being the human wrecking ball

Not in the game at all but only 2 points down come on lads turn it around.

Anyone see Shaul's injury?

Without being melodramatic, season over effectively.

Dumb team thats all you can say

season over? give over, yea we bit behind now but we can claw it back, effort again there but kicking was loose again, I thought missing a lot of our top players showed today, but 2 weeks we go again and need to get a run going, still think we are in the mix

Right on cue...yawn.

Very poor. Defence on the whole was good but with the ball very poor. Harris a passenger, Paea anonymous, Houghton didn't look right and kicking on the 2nd tackle was ultimately what has cost us.

Logan at full back when we have Connor and Miloudi??

Bizarre

An odd game. Good effort but not really at the races.
Both sides bombed quite a few chances and the game was decided by a lucky ricochet.

Our season was over before this match to be honest with all the injuries, but look at Leeds, last years champions, they are more than likely not going to make the 4 either
