Discuss the Ladbrokes RL Challenge Cup Final between Hull FC and Warrington Wolves here.

With Halloween coming up I decided to go to my local fancy dress shop to see if I could get a Dracula costume. After a few minutes the assistant handed me a Hull KR shirt asking "Is this suitable?", I replied "I think you may have misheard me, I said I wanted to look like a count."

As with last year's final, seeing as this is the biggest game of the domestic season up to now, I thought we might as well squeeze in a bit more time for pre match discussion than normal. 

 

#verynervous  :wacko:

I haven't been as excited for a cup final since we played Fev and we all know how that went ..... Very nervous, this finally could be our year, we have a full squad to pick from and would be great to see Gaz Ellis lift that cup not only for him but for us long suffering Black and Whites.

Hull are certainly big favourites and I wouldn't begrudge them a victory given their path to the final. I'm pretty unconvinced by all of our outside backs besides Atkins, and Hull need to get the credit there too for managing to persuading us to pay money for Lineham.

 

I'm going along more in hope than expectation. Smith has managed to come up with a game plan in the past for CC Finals (not so much the Grand Final) so I hope he has something very cunning up his sleeve. But I fully expect to be applauding sulkily as Ellis picks up the trophy on Saturday afternoon.

I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

I hope your right .. ! We have to keep Sandow quiet first, I'm fully expecting Warrington to throw it around from minute one, you have game breakers all across the park.

Warrington are my tip for the Grand Final and I will stick with that but I think FC will edge this one.

I'm looking forward to this more than any CC final I can remember for a long long time.

Behave!

Wire are favourites with just about all the bookies and given their recent Wembley record and our historical (some might say hysterical) Wembley record it's hardly surprising.

Hoping for decent weather, little in the way of controversy, and a good, close, hard fought match.

I would say I'm about 70% certain of a Warrington win with that rather annoying Sandow/Samson bloke romping off with the Lance Todd Troohy.

If Hull do somehow overcome their Wembley nightmare hoodoo and pull off a famous victory, I'm not sure if I'll be able to recover for some time, it really does mean that much.

I'll have to go now, think I've got summat in my eye.

Warrington by 20 because HULL NEVER WIN AT WEMBLEY and because THIS IS WARRINGTONS YEAR (to do the double)

PROUD TO BE A MEMBER OF http://www.rugbyleaguecares.org/ and http://www.walesrugbyleague.co.uk/article/8790/join-team-wales-for-2013

Predictions for the future -

Crusaders RL to get a franchise for 2012 onwards -WRONG

Widnes Vikings also to get a franchise - RIGHT

Crusaders RL to do the double over Widnes and finish five places ahead of them -WRONG

Widnes Vikings NOT to dominate rugby league in years to come! STILL TO COME

I promise to pay �10 to the charity of Bomb Jacks choice if Widnes Millionaires finish above the battling underdogs Crusaders RL. I OWE A TENNER!

The one factor that could influence the match is the weather, if it is a hot day on the Wembley pitch would hulls big pack tire. But plenty of game breakers on either side so should be close.

Think the bookies have it right with Wire at 8/11 favs.  

Hull have more potential weak links than Wire.  Funoa, Tumavave and Manu have regular stinkers wheras Wire generally just have to worry about Ratchford.

 

I'm totally neutral and will wait until I see who the ref favours before I start shouting for the others.

This world was never meant for one as beautiful as me.

As long as Warrington win, I'm not bothered who wins. As 012 chris says, what do we sing if FC win at Wembley.

Boo!
