Hull FC: Andy Lynch says underdogs will have bite at Wolves
CAPTAIN Andy Lynch says Hull FC are happy with their role as underdogs in Saturday's play-off clash at Warrington.
Lynch played a pivotal role in Hull's 46-10 defeat of Huddersfield Giants in the first round of the play-offs last Sunday.

However, their Halliwell Jones Stadium hosts – having finished second in the league – will start favourites
Lynch has been instrumental in the FC pack this season, leading the metres and carries, and though the former Bradford Bull is relishing the prospect of making an appearance at Old Trafford, he knows Warrington will pose a significant test.

"We're going into Saturday's game as underdogs," he said.
"Warrington have been one of the top teams all season and they'll want to prove a point after their defeat against St Helens, but we can go in without any pressure on our shoulders and enjoy playing the game, so we're confident we can perform well on the day.
"We had a great performance against Huddersfield and we're in good spirits so we just need to keep working hard this week and step-up our game in a few areas and we can go there and come away with the win."
Lynch says a large following could play a crucial role as Hull aim for another big display to keep their season alive.
"There's a really good spirit in the camp," said Lynch.
"We prepared very well for the game against Huddersfield and we came away with a great win in front of our fans which was fantastic.
"The fans are always massive at this stage of the season. Stepping out at the KC the fans have been fantastic all year but we've had a good turn-out of travelling fans throughout the campaign as well.
"Hopefully they can turn out in force again this weekend.
"We're playing at a good stadium and it would be great to see a big support there to spur us on."

“It's a sad reflection of today's society when people on benefits like bumsonseats aka Forest can't afford to do anything other than to spend all day (7:00am to 12:00pm every day) posting on here. LOL
You really have to feel sorry for the poor old Dobbins fans who can't comment on their own club because A: there's nothing happening and B: they know that their days of dreaming about being a top club are over due to the cronic mis-management of the club by Hudgell.
Nobody has any idea where he is going to find the money to repay the £1 million loan to the Allams which is due next year and with the interest accrued will be close to £1,500,000,let alone find the money to fund a club which is losing £ 500,000 a season.
Everybody knows that all the players at Rovers are up for sale if the fee is right but even the money they get for Dobson and Taylor will only postpone them going into administration yet again which will ensure their drop into the Championship.
NEVER MIND DOBBINS,YOU ARE ALL WELCOME TO JOIN THE OLD FAITHFUL AT THE MAGNIFICENT KC STADIUM TO WATCH A TOP FOUR SIDE NEXT SEASON.”

“Of course Hull will be underdogs against the Challenge Cup winners... and a team that has been up there for the past 4 - 5 years .. claiming top spot last year and finishing 2nd this season... so even if FC do get turned over, there will be no shame in doing so against such a team as Warrington. At least we have made progress this season, unlike the dobbins who are going backwards !!”
