I would say both teams are easily matched on paper, it will come down to whoever handles the occasion. I just hope Hull put on a better show than 2013, that game could have put a glass eye to sleep!
I'm pretty sure they will, much different side now and that Hull were like 7th/8th in the league compared to top this year. They also are having close contests with Warrington lately. Both won the away fixture in 2015 by a drop goal and Hull have won both this year by 2 & 7 points respectively so they've got a gameplan that works well against Warrington.
The 3/4's I don't believe is a main factor and is both teams weaker area. Both set of forwards are strong so it'll be down to the halves. Sneyd needs to have a massive game for Hull. Whoever wins I reckon the Lance Todd is going to either Sneyd, Gidley or Sandow unless somebody scores a hat trick.
Tony Smith's sides as I've mentioned before on here lose a lot in big playoff/cup games when the scoreline is close (with the 2004 GF being the exception to the rule) and wins come from getting a few scores clear. If it's even or very close approaching the final 20 then I think Hull will do it and going by those recent results listed above it looks likely it'll be close.
Far from it , no matter how many times John Kear tells us so .
