In-form Bulls loose forward Mike Forshaw insists there will be no let-up as the countdown to Twickenham continues at Hull tomorrow night.

Injuries at this stage could end a player's Challenge Cup final dream but Forshaw knows only one way to play.

"I have been through this a few times now and the best way to approach a cup final is just to go as hard as you can," he said. "If you try and take it easy you end up getting knocks and that is the last thing you want ahead of such an important game.

"I will treat it like any other game and hopefully get the two points and then start looking forward to Twickenham.

"I would be a liar if I said I wasn't thinking about it already. But if there was one game you wouldn't want to have before a final it would be Hull away.

"It's a very important game and it could be a very important two points in our season if we could come away with a win from the Boulevard. I broke my leg at Hull a few years ago and so it's not been a place with happy memories for me but I hope to change that tomorrow.

"In addition some players will also be playing for places in the final and that gives the Hull game added importance. They have been going well. Tony Smith was a great signing for them and Jason Smith was one of the best players in the NRL Down Under last season.

"They have some very talented kids too and it shows in their current standing in the league," he added.

Meanwhile, Hull have attempted to allay Bulls fans fears of travelling to the Boulevard after some problems in previous years.

Hull marketing manager Jonathan Clark said: "The club has worked very hard to eradicate some fringe elements of the so-called support. We have continued to use a supporters' liaison officer who welcomes visiting coaches and points fans in the right direction for such basics as bars, toilets, programmes etc. Away fans so far this season have been impressed by this service and attention to detail."

The clubs' Academy sides meet in a curtain-raiser at 3.45pm.
