You should have got yourselves relegated years ago.
Matt Ellis wasn't in charge.

Good luck to HKR. I am a huge supporter of the underdog and I hope one of them or Hudds go all the way
It would be ideal if Huddersfield and Hull KR can avoid each other in the semis.

Hardaker is having a shocker (goes on to score winning try.)
Can't recall any positive input into a Leigh game this season. Awful these days.

Yep, but Paul does not need the money, and he lives in a very affluent area in Worsley close to the A.J. Bell, no need whatsoever to uproot and go to the far East.
But he knows how close to the wind Salford are currently sailing.

Probably the only competitive QF.

One big positives for Hull is the young players that are coming through. I was impressed with Moy when he came on and Charles looks like he’s going to be a good player.
A few good signings will help but long term success is based on bringing quality juniors throughBringing youngsters through is all well and good but across the city Rovers seem to be having more success on the field with bought in ready made players and zero home grown.

One swallow doesn't make a summer, as they say. Every time I've watched him play he's done next to nothing on attack despite showing some fancy glimpses, and then made some very half-hearted defensive efforts. Bottom line is if he was playing really well then he'd be in the team ripping it up every week, and Hull would be much the better for it. But he isn't, and they're not. Reading some of the comments on twitter defending him and slating Smith/Hull, it sounds like they're describing James Tedesco! But from my experiences watching him he seems more like Hull's equivalent of Latrell Mitchell... Doesn't do anywhere near enough good stuff, especially considering that he's probably one of Hull's higher paid players.
Just responding to your comment re him never having a decent game. The reason that game stands out to me is that we sat with the Hull FC fans at Newcastle and gave our pre match opinions that we thought Hoy and Griffin were pants. Both gave top notch performances.

I haven't seen him do anything notable whatsoever in any games I've watched. If he's a rotten apple then get rid.
Outstanding at Magic Weekend last year.

Anyone but Saints. Simple as that.
I thought that prior to last year's WCC but once the game got underway I soon switched and got behind them and enjoyed the game and result.

Enjoyable game and result. Early to bed though as neither of the other two results appeal.
-
Have Fev publicized the attendance figure from the Wakefield game anywhere yet. The league game. I've given up on the cup one.

Would love to see a late season St Helen's defeat to an immediately relegated club take the title down into the Championship, and maybe a Challenge Cup upset then have it reside in the division below that for a season or two.
Saints v Leigh is last match of regular season. Saints field a weakened team (as per usual) and Leigh pick up only their 2nd win of the season just prior to dropping down a division due to low IMG ranking.
Possible late reprieve as RFL award 0.5 IMG points to holders of Unofficial World Club Championship.

I have undertaken a project to find the unofficial club world champions. Let me expand.
I have gone back to the 1987 WCC (the 1976 one would have been too much work) and crowned Wigan world champions. In the next match that Wigan played, they defended that title. The first match they lost, that team became new Champions which they then had to defend and so on and so forth.
Each line is when the title passed on to its new champion.
I hope I haven't made any mistakes which would invalidate the whole thing but I hope you enjoy it for what it is, which is a bit of fun.
So without further ado, please bask in the glory of having been the world champions without even knowing it.

Next job: Put together a league table showing who has held it the most often and who, if any, have never held it.

Wakefield clung on to 12-16 lead until some loose play by Fev in the last quarter allowed Walmsley to complete his hat trick and give Wakefield a FT 12-20
Very tight game. Good crowd too.

All Wakefield for 1st 15 mins then mainly Fev.
,6-14 HT
We are up hill 2nd half.

More Trinity fans at POR than for the cup game. Filling into the side stand now. Let's hope it lifts the team enough this time.
I'm sure Fev will use the cash windfall wisely.
-
Cas by far the better side and look decent until they get within 10m of the Leeds line.

1980 Halifax v Wakefield in't Challenge Cup. No tries as Fax won 7-3 with Jonny Blair's tactical kicking and four drop goals too much for Wakefield in front of a 12,800 crowd. I've never before or since experienced an atmosphere like that day anywhere. Brilliant!

Remember that well. Fax were 2nd division iirc Wakefield had been on a decent run of form with Graham Idle captaining the side whilst Topliss had been out injured. Topliss got his place back and I think he set the scene with the 1st drop goal. Maurice Bamford stood on the touchline rousing his side throughout the game. Games like that do stick, win or lose.

I know I've already picked my worst but would like to add the 3rd GB v Australia match at Elland Road late 1997. We'd all rolled up expecting a tight decider only for Wendel Sailor to round Paul Atcheson early doors opening the flood gates.

Pretty predictable last four.

Hull KR's drubbing at Wembley. Real damp squib of a game/event/day.
Couldn't believe that some Rhinos fans were actually in front of us heading out to the tube station.

My feelings exactly. The home crowds are more linked to the cut price tickets and freebies though.
The away following is probably mainly the die hards who have now doubled up on previously attending just home games. Possibly due to a winning run similar to the numbers we took to Shudds away game last year. That bubble burst but I can't see a repeat this year.
