I feel like warrington have more game breakers. I know hull have lot's of quality with sneyd houghton, some of the backline and the pack et al. But warringtons guns, when they're on it can reach a higher level than the hull ones, IMO of course. Who would you rather have, both playing at their best, sandow or sneyd? Sandow can produce wow plays that sneyd can't. As a unit the teams are evenly matched, not much seperates them in the table so it's going to come down to the key players and those good ol' major final game breaking moments.



Warrington for me, but not by much and only if they play at full potential.

it was when I looked, it's changing all the time.

I expect light showers before the game making it slippery conditions, but no rain during.

I think Hull will edge it. Won both games between them this year and last year's regular season games were one win apiece both decided by 1 point so they clearly have found a way that Warrington struggle against.



With it likely to be close I never fancy a Tony Smith side in a big cup/playoff game as they usually lose (with the 2004 GF with Leeds the exception to the rule) and his successes coming from getting a number of scores ahead.

Poor media buildup again for what is meant to be a showpiece event, one Rugby Legaue story all week on the BBCSport website and its a dull article about how Chris Hill runs a plumbing business in his spare time. Wheres the articles from legendary ex Hull and Warrington players, the 'top 10 challenge cup finals' list, the video clips etc the sport is getting sold short again.

For what it's worth, in south London has been glorious all week and has gone over 30 degrees twice.



Bought a ticket today, never been as a neutral. I'm personally hoping for a Hull win but I'm in "unreserved" seating so fingers crossed im with the 'ull lot.

75k tickets sold as of what, Wednesday, any more updates? It would be great to see it packed out.

Should be a healthy crowd as usual but still won't stop it looking pretty bad on TV due to the club wembley seats being mostly unused and sticking out like a sore thumb, same every year.

Not amazing, but Lee Briers was interviewed on Radio 4 Today Programme in the 8.30 sports slot this morning.

So what!? There's a 20 page supplement in the Hull Daily Mail...

If I was a betting man I'd go for Dire by less than 6 points, however, I'm really really hoping Hull will finally break their Wembley jinx.

The daily mirror has had a story ever day about the final

Aww boohoo. It's the same every year. Makes no difference that your precious FC are in town.
