Coach quotes
Looking ahead to Friday’s game, he said: “We just prepare for the best of Hull and we know, if you are to look when they’ve played us there’s been a one-point swing and a loss, so the class is there for everyone to see.
“I think that’s why at the beginning of the season everyone looked at that squad and said it is a squad that you can see playing in finals. They’ve been unfortunate with some injuries and suspensions but they also have a very good Academy system so we have to prepare for the best of them and the best of them is quite formidable.”
