I do feel this will be our best chance of a GF spot for awhile unless we go on a signing spree in the next 24 months.
To be fair to Smith we have only choked once under him in the Playoffs which was Hudds at home in 2010 and last season was a flip of a coin between us an Leeds making the final, in a match that was good enough to be a Grand Final! we need to beat Hull though no excuses unless they go onto win GF, we should be winning against the 6th place team.
One thing I hadnt noticed was that in both seasons that Smith won the Grand Final his Leeds side had lost in the Playoffs then picked themselves up to defeat the sides in the repeat fixture, hopefully a good omen that Smith can lift this Wire side for Saturday.
