Come on. It's a cliche but the form book counts for nothing when it comes to a derby.

Re: Who Do you Fancy? : Thu Jul 02, 2015 1:47 pm  

In all honesty, I cannot see the dark side beating Wakefield this Sunday, 4 days after being comprehensively outplayed by the same opposition for 55 of the 80 minutes last night. Unless of course, the commentary from RH was painting a false picture. The stats from the game, reflect the justified Wildcats victory and their margin of superiority in the second half.

The talk a fortnight ago from Radford was about taking positives from the league defeat to Leeds and what they were going to do to Leeds in the reverse cup fixture with their home support behind them and the performance on the night was worse than the first one.

I'll be surprised if lightning doesn't strike twice here. You have the re energised Wildcats with some half decent new players, now full of confidence and still playing for pride and to impress an RL coaching legend. They will be playing once again against a beat up and knackered Dull Fc, low on form, confidence, energy and creativity and playing for a coach who has hardly inspired anyone with his tactical nous to date and who has been born with an unfortunate charisma bypass.

I watched it and for 20 minutes it looked like a rout, Wakey were awful. Paea and Watts went off and Hull dissolved. Once Wakey got a try they gained confidence and Hull just went into their shell. I really can't see Wakey backing that up but if they get at them early and get a couple of scores on the board the natives will get on the teams back and anything can happen. Ellis being out will be a massive loss.

Hull will beat Wakey.

We need as ever, to ignore them.

Our destiny is now is now in our own hands.

Make the eight, get knocked out, win the CC,mildly rebuild for next season.
