You'd need to have a fixed time in the calendar obviously, and even sew up the finals in advance for a few years so people could plan ahead (not, in true RL fashion, book it 4 months beforehand). 2027 Cardiff 2028 Arsenal 2029 Murrayfield 2030 Tottenham 2031 Newcastle 2032 Wembley... Returns to London ever other year, but not always Wembley.

One of the most "rugby league" people you could ever meet. Forever grateful for giving me my first memory of Hull FC success. Glad I got the chance to meet him a few times and tell him that! Devastating to hear of his passing. Thoughts go out to his family and loved ones at this time. RIP legend.

Things that put people off going to Wembley: It's expensive Their team isn't involved Travel Other big events take priority It's there every year, can go next year. Another event was there recently. Time of year. You can't fix everything, as you can move one thing and it affect another (moving from August to early June/late May was a "time of year" suggestion for example). The "my team isn't involved" issue seems to be in the wake of Magic Weekend and Grand Final. Grand Final became the new pinnacle, so didn't matter if your team was involved. Magic Weekend offers you the chance to be a neutral AND to see your team. So what's unique and the Cup Final now? Could a 9s festival on the same weekend involving all clubs entice more to travel and stay to take in both events and mesh the community aspect back together? I'm still of the opinion that familiarity breeds contempt for this event too. Again, it's not the pinnacle anymore, and there's other options to be a neutral. Could moving it around be a good option? Similarly, if Wembley is such a big draw, why has it never been considered for Magic Weekend?

Nigel Wood to NRL confirmed...

Only 4 forward passes in that...

Boom!

I'm still pleased that they haven't managed to score up the middle yet. They've had to really work it wide for all their tries.

And again, just bounces off his shoulder and nicely back into his hands! Bloody fortuitous all night!

Told you! Ball doesn't bounce for us! Should have been a 40-20!

Great kick, but if that had been us you know it would never bounce that fortunately!

I can't believe the difference in energy between this week and the last 2 weeks. Has Sezer been a negative presence?

An argument for disciplinary to be different in league and cup competitions (and international for that matter).

Catalans surely? Unless he's working as an assistant?

We actually started playing better with him off. Probably the first on the list of players that won't be here next year.

Absolute garbage quality that. Drama, yes. But this was 2 very poor sides. I'm so disappointed with how Hull have been last 2 games. Some players have played themselves out of contracts next year it seems. We've more lost to all 3 promoted teams. Completely unacceptable. Major major change needs to be happening in the background because this is just woeful. It's not 2024 bad, but the drop from 2025-6 feels worse than 2023-4.
