I don't think Wire beating Hull is as nailed on as a lot of people think - Carvell and Westwood are big losses for them and Hull could potentially match them in the forwards. If Hull take it them up front and get some points on the board early and start creating a bit of panic among the home support then Wire could quite easily crumble and start playing playoff suicide rugby yet again. Wire still start favourites all day long naturally, but an upset wouldn't be that much of a shock to me.
So far there are only five teams who know what it takes to get to a grand final, and Hull is one of them. I expect Hull will make into an arm wrestle to put Wire off there game.
Wihether they can keep it up for 80 mins is another matter, Wire are looking battle weary now and injuries piling up, the games are harder from now on can the Wire keep going.
