What a game, well played hull FC. Pretty important tackle from Houghton there.

 

[Patorick]

Great to see Hull win.

Well deserved, especially for letting Pritchard and Manu play in the Pacific Test.

 

[JasonE]

Really enjoyed that, some people criticised the first half but I thought both sides were nervous as expected and it was bloody hard and tough.
Daryl Clark was sensational in a losing side.

 

[Perth Red]

Well that's gone and spoilt my weekend

 

[Pommy]

What was the attendance? It did look space in places but its not like its in RL heartland.

Times have changed, used to be Wembley was a big weekend away for RL fans, an annual trip to the big smoke for the northerners. That's changed now so you get far fewer neutrals attending. Most SL clubs would only have 20-30k fans/interested locals.

Come on Warrington, hammer the scummers!

Scummers

 

[WireMan]

Oh well, should have won but fell to pieces on two fairly straight forward kicks.
Onto the playoffs.

A lot of empty spaces in the Warrington end, can't complain as I didn't go.
The grand final is more important for Warrington now as we won the cup a few times but lost two grand finals since.

I went. As an aussie, what an experience. Wembley way was buzzing. Yeah a few too many empty seats, but oh well. My ears were still ringing the next day.

Heard the club wembley membership won't include the CC Final next year. Good news, best seats in the house.

I thought you weren't interested in the "Sky Cup"?

 

[WireMan]

I hate the whole set up (and judging by crowds and interest so do a lot of people) but it is a final Warrington has lost twice recently.

It could be the floodlight trophy I would feel the same.
We have won the league and at Wembley a few times so there is one cup left to win.

When hull finish top and no one gives two sh*ts you will finally understand the problem at the Lancashire end of the comp and the struggles we have in growing and promoting the race to the bottom sh*t show the current rfl are running.

 

[LeedsStorm]

Delusions about what constitutes being champions aside, you have to say it's between these two for the GF too Big opportunity missed by Wigan this weekend

 

[WireMan]

Who said champions? I said won the league. Which they did, but due to some horrendous decisions that is not champions.
In a proper sport it would be but the rfl are determined to make the super league the biggest joke possible.
What has Wigan performance got to with the playoffs? The league is done for them now.
