Moan moan moan - half of those on here I bet have attended no more than half a dozen games all season. Yet they bleat on about how badly the game is run, how badly it is played, attendance levels, facilities, referees.
What we are hearing are comments from a lot of people who think that RL started in 1996 and most of whom are purely armchair critics. Get up off your fat whining s and actually SUPPORT the game.
Do you whinge about everything, probably not. Not the most important things in life like poverty and child abuse, poor housing. Governments who are self serving thieves.
It's a fecking game! Support it or shut your yap!

Quote: Big Steve "Pretty much every FA Cup final in the past 10-20 years has been far worse than this years game - strangely enough this years FA cup final was the exception. '"


Are you from Wigan?

This years FA Cup Final was just as dreadful as most FA Cup Finals have been. The only redeeming feature of this years final was that a relegated team got a late winner against a billion pound team. If Man City had been the side getting the late goal then the final would have been as bad as the CC final.

Quote: Big Steve "Why do some individuals get so focused on the negatives of our game? '"


This years Challenge Cup final was a terrible final. Most Challenge Cup finals are actually good.

Were on the ticket for any game is it printed that you will get to see the greatest match of all time? the game was awfull so what? that is what you get in sport uncertain results & performance. The media, the RFL,fans on here have hyped up the game going on & on about 1985 & all that. I have seen two awfull games this year both against Wigan on our own ground not happy but again that is sport. If you want certainty & can't take supprises or disapointments watch Thomas the tank engine, sport is obviously not for you.

Not sure about that - things can get pretty hairy whenever Henry is involved; he's a loose cannon.

I'm not quite sure why the quality of this game has signalled the RL apocalypse; Wigan came with a very pedestrian game plan that was suited to the conditions; Hull defended for their lives but choked with the ball in hand. It made for a pretty uninspiring spectacle for the neutral, but hardly the death knell of the sport.

The only people with a legitimate grievance I would suggest, are those Hull fans who spunked a few hundred quid on a weekend in London; shame, but you pays your money and all that.

Anyone who isn't prepared to adopt an insecure siege mentality by citing the crapness of last night's Man Utd V Chelsea game on a thread about the crapness of the CC Final must really hate the game of RL.

"Look, I'd never use injuries as an excuse..." Daryl Powell:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_23603.jpg



In hindsight, perhaps not the worst final I've seen but I certainly think Hull's handling errors outnumbered anything I'd seen previously in a final. And I suspect for many, handling is the main aspect of our game in which we take pride. Think of all the anti-union posts which have, over the years, attacked the other code over their poor skills with ball in hand. Hardly surprising then that when it goes badly wrong, as it did for one team on Saturday, that many observers are none too impressed.
