That's very realistic for you, Mr. Optimism!
Bulls by 14+ for me.

Hull FC win.
It's a bit odd where neither set of fans are predicting a win for their team!

I, just like those Castleford supporters felt that the ball should have gone to David Plange but he put the bit betwen his teeth...and it was a try
Kevin Ward - best player I have ever seen
The real Mick Gledhill is what you see on here, a Bradford fan ........, but deep down knows that Bradford are just not good enough to challenge the likes of Leeds & St Helens.

So it's vital that everyone turns up and makes themselves heard be it on the Popular side or the Tetley's stand.
The loss of Sean Long for the black & whites could have huge implications on there season (the signing of Long was always a huge gamble) as when he was missing earlier in the season Hull FC really struggled to create any real attacking flare (to which I was a witness seeing both the Hull FC 24-48 Leeds and Hull FC 12-8 Wakefield games).
The parallels between both clubs is somewhat striking with both having problems of no recognised backup halfback to take over the mantle (see Matt Orford).
Fitzgibbon and Mark O'Meley may also be missing.
So that brings me on to the Bulls and I can't really say much which is a shame, but Im feeling low after the events of yesterday.
I know I've posted this on another thread but it's vital to the season that we urgently need to be recapturing our early season defence and quick because with eight games to go it's everything to play for.
Another season of missing out on the play-offs will wipe hundreds off next seasons, season pass holders.
On that note I think Hull FC will win but we'll make them work for it.

Lately, Bulls have been doing some good stuff closely followed, in equal measure, by things which just aren't the right standard. We seem to be able to both defend pretty well and able to score some classy tries, but never in the same match and not for very long.
Defence has been the poor area in the last few games. If this has been addressed then who knows? I've been impressed with the young players brought in (they're definitely not to blame) but they are obviously very inexperienced, of course FC aren't the most consistent side either, so it could go either way, I guess.

Can I just point out that the call isn't dubious, it's down right wrong, bordering on cheating.

Ian Smith is in charge on Sunday so there won't be any cheating.

Bradford: Scruton, Donaldson, Sculthorpe, Crookes, Orford, Reardon & Wardle.
Hull FC: Calderwood, Horne, Long, O'Meley, Moa, Fitzgibbon.
No doubt about it Hull are looking a tad bare in the forward department and from what I was told last night by the bloke who does the KCFM coverage, Hull will struggle in the halfs as that's where the problem lies eg: lack of creativity etc . . . .
I still fancy Hull, the past six weeks I've seen us ship in more tries then the BP leak has leaked barrels of oil.

Not tooooo sure about that. Smithy is pretty good and I'm sure he'll penalise any (when he spots it!) but even he can't stop it in the first place
