If you look at the teams Hull played then there is reason to be optomistic.
They beat
A Poor Wigan side
Catalans at home who we beat away
A very poor Bradford side
Celtics ....... promoted team syndrome
Huddersfield... who everyone agrees had a bad day at the office against them
Don't get me wrong they are obviously playing well but so are we and I think if we play as we have been doing then this will be Hull's first real test
A close game but hopefully we will just edge it.
Oh and we need to keep up our away winning streak......
Great insight and match analyses there! How many (apart from possibly Hudds on the telly) did you actually witness?
An interesting recurrence is emerging every week - the media seem to constantly analyse what Hull's opponents did wrong, rather than what we did well. Great, this, because it keeps us nicely under the radar, but beware of being lulled into a false sense that we won because on every(!) occasion the other team were poor.
For your information, Wigan weren't that bad - a few errors (forced?) cost them, Celtic gave us trouble in the first half, Cats were frustrated but not weak, Hudds - ditto, and Bradford tried their usual strong game down the middle which usually pays off against us but which didn't on Sunday.
And Hull played....
You'll find out on Friday...
. Always had a soft spot for Cas, and It would be great to see you finish in the play-offs this year.
