Dowes; we will win.

EWAN Dowes has a sneaky feeling Hull FC's name may have been on the Challenge Cup in 2008 all along.
A winner with the club in Cardiff in 2005, the long-serving prop has endured a tough season for the Black and Whites.
But as Richard Agar's men prepare to take on the all-conquering St Helens tomorrow, Dowes is quietly confident FC may well pull off one of the biggest shocks in final history.
"It feels like our year again, just like it did in 2005" he told the Mail.
"It's a massive achievement to get to Wembley, and a great boost for the city and our club. We have come this far, but now we have to go all the way.
"The Challenge Cup has given us a great glimmer of hope that we can rescue our season.
"It's been an unbelievably tough year for us with injuries and Peter Sharp getting sacked - it's all gone against us. It would be a tragedy if we didn't get something out of it."
