Points difference. : Sun Aug 18, 2024 10:22 am  

I myself cannot see Hull FC winning another game this season. Broncos I believe can, however I feel that us not finishing bottom need not be reliant on us winning games.
Our points difference is one hundred and twenty or so. With five games to play, even if we lose games we need to keep points against as low as possible.
Hull FC I think will ship points and a one hundred and twenty point gap could easily disappear.
To think how well placed we would be if we had not let FC to win at the death when first we played them and if we had taken a drop goal against Leeds at Headingly during the game, when we had the chance. But that is what happened.
I would rather pick up a win or two, but not to finish bottom would stick to fingers up to IMG. I would like that.

Think we would all agree with 2 fingers Victor, but Oli also needs to make sure he misses as few kicks at goal as he can. God knows how many points have gone begging through poor kicking.

Hull FC fans on their forum, are forecasting a seventy point defeat against Wigan next week. That would help some, if it happened.

Sure Wigan want to avenge their narrow defeat to Hull earlier in season but apart from a couple of 60s, 1 against us, they don't look like a 70 point team. On the other hand, Bongser needs to be persuading his team to catch covid mid week to lend a hand.
