Eddie Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 I wouldn’t back them at 66/1, certainly not 20s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want to be too unkind but you're aware of their last Cup final appearance aren't you? It's okay getting to the GF but winning it takes a special kind of mentality and if you're not prepared you've almost certainly lost before the kick off. The three teams that have made just one GF appearance have come out the other end all with similar one sided scorelines : 2006 Saints 26 Hull FC 4 2017 Leeds 24 Cas 6 2019 Saints 23 Salford 6 An each way bet might be slightly more attractive if you can get it at around 13/1 or 16/1 but, in spite of their great win last night, I don't think they'll be in the mix tbh.

Hela Wigmen Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 They certainly shouldn’t be anywhere near 20’s at present. 66 is probably a bit low for my liking at this moment in time, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cup inspires upsets and surprise performances, whereas the grand final always feels like a match made for experienced champions. Warrington got within a few points 4 times and still didn't have that special strength to overcome the barrier. I guess the GF is the occasion where you see thew true on-field leaders come to the fore... Tomkins, O'Loughlin, Peacock, McGuire to name just a few have all got that winning mentality that seems to be missing from the leaders of other teams.

Liverpool Rover Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Just being in the playoffs will be enough for me after the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimmestStar Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 No one at Rovers is expecting to get to the Grand Final. We finished 11th last year so our current position of 6th is a real positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris22 Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 If Hull KR were to finish 5th or 6th, that would be an excellent season. To win the comp, they would likely face a run (at present) of Wigan away, Catalans away, Warrington / Saints in the Grand Final. I cannot see them winning all of those fixtures and 66/1 seems about right to me. Saying that, Hull KR have been playing some wonderful rugby of late and Tony Smith is doing an excellent job. They won't win the competition, but if they make the play offs that will be a huge success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
my missus Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 they will need to improve, wigan were shockingly bad last night i think anyone would admit that.

DimmestStar Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 hull fc are 9-1 to win Super League. This means that the bookies think it is 9 times more likely that they will not than they will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This means that the bookies think it is 9 times more likely that they will not than they will. No it doesn't mean that. Bookies work on a system called the overround, whereby they change the odds to guarantee them a set % profit of the total book. They will push the price out sometimes to attract more money for a certain team and shorten the odds on another team to deter people from backing them, its not necessarily down to probabilities or volume of bets its about preserving the overround. I’m not prejudiced, I hate everybody equally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Szymala Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 The very fact that only 4 clubs have ever won the GF - and no new winner since Leeds in 2004 - says that they should be 166/1 at the very least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
