We've played 3 tougher games than them. That may have had an impact and could well be relevant. Our confidence in our defence will be matched by theirs in their spine. Have they scored more points than us this and conceded fewer this season?

The final is not for another month, if it was next week then maybe the tougher game against Wigan would come to it but it doesn't

Seriously why are you bothered by what the bookies think?

Seriously, just making an observation.

People talk about odds all the time, especially for sporting events. Are we allowed to discuss them?

In your opinion. Not sure what reliance I'd place on that tbh given we're top of the league and in a major final:

William Hill, Ladbrokes and Paddy Power all have Warrington as favourites.

Happy with that.

There was probably more money already on Warrington because of their easier semi-final draw. Perhaps there'll be a slight adjustment in the next few days. Or maybe it is just that Warrington won it 3 years out of 4 not so long ago.

For me, Warrington need to do something a little bit out of the ordinary to win. they are capable of that, but Hull if 'just' turn up and do what they have done most of the year, that will probably be enough.

Very close one to call for sure. As irritating as Sandow is, he's got way more X Factor than any other player involved IMO. Hull will depend on cohesion and concentration.

I see Wire as more of a threat than Wigan Were last night but also see them giving us more opportunities also .

Re: Challenge Cup Final 27th August vs Warrington Wolves : Sat Jul 30, 2016 5:15 pm  

We will have to put in the defensive performance of our season and it still may not be enough to win if sandow plays to his potential on the day. We've kept him relatively quiet twice this season so let's hope we do it a 3rd time. I have a bad feeling about this one already, having been to 6 finals to watch us there and never having seen us win

It will likely be a more open game, weather conditions permitting. It was pretty wet last night so it wasn't the night to be throwing the ball around

Ticketing arrangements seem to have been well thought through for once anyway and they're indulging the love of queuing that for many is part of the big occasion build-up. Not sure whether to go on a corner or right behind the posts. http://www.hullfc.com/news/2016-07-30-c ... et-details
