Challenge Cup Final 27th August vs Warrington Wolves : Sat Jul 30, 2016 3:25 pm  

Warrington already established as favourites with the bookies. Let's hope it's an afternoon for the underdogs.

Massive ask against an expansive Warrington on a wide pitch. Hopefully an enjoyable occasion though

Anyone going?

After the season you have had its about time you stopped with the play down expectations crap.

Wakefield defended like Rovers did against Oldham, that's how poor they were. If Hull play like they did last night then you win, simple as that.

Oh and Sky bet offer both Hull & Wire at 10/11. I have signififantly better odds on you to lift the cup.

Utter rubbish, played them twice beat them twice, why should we be afraid of them. Watched them against Walefield just now and they were nothing special regardless of the score line. The one player I've always liked from Warrington is Ratchford

But your song states that we'll never win at Wembley. Make your mind up.

I have no expectations that we'll win whatsoever. Hopes, obviously. But I was looking at 6th and maybe a semi final as a good year. Looks like both surpassed so I'm in freaking dreamland regardless. Please don't project your distress at the polarisation of our trajectories onto me and my current state of delight. I'll think what I think. Which right now is happy thoughts that don't involve Batley or Webster claiming Leigh have a team full of internationals. This actually happened BTW.

Who said we'd be afraid? PaddyPower have them as favourites and they play an expansive game. We might win but with their far more favourable draw thus far they'll fancy it massively. My mum is a big Ratchford fan. They have some tasty pivots for sure, but I love our pack.

The draw doesn't come into it. Who we've played to get to Wembley is irrelevant now. Both teams will have confidence from getting there. What gives me greater confidence is our defence and physicality.

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?

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

Happy with that.

Seriously why are you bothered by what the bookies think?
