[quote="Mrs Barista"]Precedent of course is a civic reception, regardless of result. Hope they've booked Bobby Bubbles and the confetti cannons. :lol:[

Bobby was great and the adults loved the show as much as the kids. Thanks again."

Mike Smith

On Bobby's website, it can't be him can it? :D

Agreed. Question now is what we do selectionwise. Think Radford will go full strength v Widnes.

Yes, I think he has to. Pick up two points there and it gives him the chance to rotate the squad against Catalans - although I suspect we may go full strength in that game too.

Back in Hull.

Full strength next week, pretty much a much win game, as not confident with games before and after the final, leaving Wakey away and then the two best teams at home.

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the (Dark) Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you."

I just hope that the poor performance against Cas last night doesn't impact on the overall mentality that has seen us overcome the opposition so many times this year when the performances have been under par. I actually think that they could have won it last night if they'd have switched on with thirty minutes to go instead of fifteen. That was a positive. The fact that they didn't or couldn't was a negative. I have some doubts that we can win one let alone two trophies if we continue to rely on a strong last twenty minutes to get us out of holes we have dug for ourselves in the first place.

Quite a few times this season we have had talk of putting things right that have been costing us during games. Yet there has been little evidence of much improvement as we continue to give cheap possession and territory to the opposition when we should be pressing home an advantage and putting games to be. As much as I think we are more than capable of beating Warrington on the day, it is by no means a foregone conclusion no matter how much we believe it to be our destiny. Taking form, confidence and the right attitude into the final quarter of the season is crucial to any success we might have. As has been frequently stated, we haven’t won anything yet!

In the mean time, bring on Widnes. Come on you Ulllaaahhh!!!

I'm not sure many are claiming winning the cup is "a forgone conclusion". I would be absolutely amazed, personally.
