I think it will be to our advantage if Hull come and underestimate us. And the crowd will be buzzing.

Id say we'd have no chance but the team has bottle.

For all my criticsim, the above is definitely not been in question, we have heart and bottle by the skip full. We also seem to have enjoyed playing rugby going off the last two games (only seen highlights due to being away) so I'm quietly optimistic. There seems to have been a change, let's hope it continues.

I thought Sarg looked more dangerous on the kick returns than Sam has since he came back.

Sarginson played well apart from the knock on from first kick. I think that Hull would look to target Tierney and Gildart , they would face a more challenging kicking game than Catalans offered, and we have struggled with Sneyds kicks before. We need to have good ball movement and shift Hulls big men around.

Phil Wilkinson seems to think Tomkins will miss the semi. He says it's not confirmed but he'd be very surprised if he played.

We'll just have to crack on if so. It sums up our season really.

Tomkins has been shocking since his knee injury in the NRL and he is now your marquee player he will never be the same again.

At least that's one reason for you to be happy this season.

There's no chance of that. You've finished higher in the league than us and at the moment our lads are running on empty.

So were Wire after our game , think both semi's are too close to call , any two could get through lets just hope it doesn't hinge on dodgy ref's calls
