    Default Cup semis...

    Are we watching then...

    I fancy Wigan tonight. I don't trust Hull at all, they're yet to prove themselves when it really matters. All the pressure on them. I'll say one thing, Hull win tonight and they'll be right there for both pieces of silverware. Beat one of the big names in a knock out game and they cannot be ignored.

    Fancy Wigan though.

    Hull came out flying, letting themselves down now though.

    Wigan try - off the back of Hull giving a stupid penalty away on the 5th tackle with Wigan pinned in their own half. This is what I mean with Hull. They've the beating of Wigan, battering them up front, but stupidity and lack of composure will kill them if they don't settle.

    At least 2000, not sure what games you've been watching. Still embarrassing. Cross-pennine semi final on a Friday night though. What a farce

    Yeah you're right, 2000, it only holds 7,500 each set of fans......no way there is 2000 behind the goal .

    But if you sell 23% of your allocation it's a farce. Doncaster must be too upmarket for 'em

    A couple of wigoon fans that I work with couldn't believe that the game is at Doncaster because it's nowhere near big enough for the 2 best teams in the country !

    I was disappointed when I'd heard Pryce was dropped, I reckon he'd have had more impact on this game.

    Good D from Wigan but Hull the better team and Sneyd bombing possession with ridiculous plays early in tackle counts.

    Hull will win this if they calm down.

    Got to give Wigan their due, supreme defence. This is how they're built. Never going to blow anybody away but they'll defend you out of a game.

    Still think the game is there for Hull if they settle. Sadly, I'm not sure they will. They're way too central - they're dominating the middle of the park but failing to test the flanks off the back of it.

    On a side note, I reckon Taylor is borderline best prop in the country and I also reckon Houghton is the most complete hooker in the country as well.

    Taylor yes, Houghton is no Roby. He's non-existent when hull are piling pressure on and needing someone to dictate.

    Roby is hugely overrated IMO these days. His running game is now reduced, he's always had no more than an average passing game, Houghton out works him defensively and possesses the better kicking game.

    Roby at his peak is the best hooker in the country but he's not been at that level all season for me.
