| Quote: vastman "No it isn't astounding to those who understand the game - it is astounding to those who's want a top four set in stone.
What upsets some fans of some clubs is that other teams refused to accept there given slot and decided to play. This gave clubs like Leeds, Saints and Wigan the shock of a lifetime. Suddenly they were not being allowed to parade around the pitch unchallenged. Worse still two clubs Cas and to a degree Wakefield were playing some of the most attractive RL seen in years. Don't believe it, watch both clubs highlights. On the other hand Hull provided the muscle and the power and of course the skill.
The only way these arrogant over entitled fans could cope with this was the sad and tired old trick of pretending they were poor and by definition so was everyone else.
Pathetic - absolutely pathetic.'"
Hull KR
Huddersfield
Catalans
All have finished top 4 and reached a CC Final in the last decade, Castleford also in 2014. You might want to act like this is the first time a "smaller" club has done well in decades and mixed it with the "big boys" but it happens more than you think and it doesn't bother the "big clubs".
Given Leeds strolled past Cas in the GF and smashed HKR in the 2015 CCF.......but edged past Wigan by 2 points in the 2015 GF that went down to the final play or lost a couple of CC's to Warrington.........then why would I prefer for Wigan, Saints and Warrington to be in the top 4 ahead of teams with little to no big match experience.

| Quote: PrinterThe "Why I have a go is because you and SOME other Wakey fans have a go at other bigger more successful teams and for some reason cry foul when you get some stick back. You can say Saints and Wigan had bad seasons but god forbid someone says Wakey won't finish in the Top 6...jumped all over.
The reason I criticise Wakefield fans opinions on here is because A, Wakey fans are dominating most threads on the VT lately (if it isn't them demanding respect it's Leigh fans having a go about Toronto and expansion)
"Oh a Leeds fan doesn't like us doing well and upsetting the established order"......I couldn't give a flying F who is in the top 4 next year as long as Leeds are one of them. In fact I'd rather have a Wakey and Cas over Wigan and Saints given we saw what playoff experience means back in October
There you go again Printer with the complete hyperbole, show evidence of ALL those Wakey fans having a go at 'bigger clubs' and your various of other claims or stfu. I mean the one about the exiles team was when someone noticed Chorley John had put a number of Trinity players in and then suddenly changed it and a Wakey fan commented on it & took the mick. If that's evidence of Wakey fans getting upset it's weak sauce. As for Trinity fans dominating the VT

Agreed, and I think both semi finals last year were great games.

Didn't realise I had to "back anything up" to appease the all mighty Wakefield fans. It's been there to see all over the VT and if you can't see it because of your Red, White and Blue specs then that's your problem.
Should I say SOME Wakey fans next time to appease you? You know it's not like Wakey fans generalise Leeds fans as "Whinos" or likewise for other clubs. Vastman generalises Leeds, Wigan and Saints fans and you don't say a damn thing so laughable you're having a go at me just because your precious club is the one getting the stick this time.

LOL usually when you make a load of claims and someone calls you out on them, especially when there are about 5 regular Trinity posters in the VT you should have enough about you to back them up, but I knew beforehand you wouldn't.
I can't believe your crying about posts from Vastman, it's not as if he hasn't always posted that way and although we've personally had disagreements his good posts far outweigh his wind ups. Think about how much crap has been chucked Trinity's way over the years and how many Trolls there's been. If I acted like you throughout that I wouldn't have time to do any normal RL related posting.
As for Vastman's comments, well, none of your Rhinos pals say anything to you either do they and you've basically admitted your trolling Trinity fans. No Saints fans say anything to Lebron, so what's your point.
I pick your comments out because unlike you I don't have a problem with any Leeds fan, in fact, I personally think there are plenty of Leeds fans that are excellent knowledgeable posters who really contribute to the site.
I personally don't troll but your replies at the most innocent Trinity fans post have become pathetic, & tbh as you probably know it's how I started to respond to you on here on the first place. They're full of bull and you generalise in just about every single one of them to try to make a point.
By the way, what do you think I should be having a go at Vastman about (there are enough Leeds fans to do that anyway), because he might have a different view on RL than me, yes he does sometimes so what, because he speaks off hand to people sometimes, that's his prerogative and he's hardly the only one. Ateotd I don't know him and he can look after himself.
Like I said your recent obsession or troll of Trinity fans posts is because you and Vastman have been having a back & forth, it seems to be nothing else so don't pretend it's anything else.
thinking about it forget it, I don't really want to know anymore, it will be just more hot air with no substance and it's pointless. You just crack on making a pratt of yourself, I knew there was a reason I hardly used to post on here.

Only one or two. But it doesn't help with the likes of you stirring it. I've got no problem with people placing Wakey at the bottom, it just makes the finish at the end of the season sweeter.

No you are doing yourselves a disservice there. Yes the cue went on the rack when top 4 became unachievable, but the second half of your season was really impressive. After the cup exit you took 19 points out of the next 30 available. That is really good, and there were some excellent results in the there.
In the same time frame Hull had 16 points, Saints and Leeds had 18 and the mighty Wakefield only had 18 aswell.
Hull had a similar year in 2015, where we were second from bottom at Easter and our form afterwards was top 4 form, but because we only only finished 7th no one really paid attention. The following year was Hull's best in a generation. I'm not saying you will quite do what we did in 2016, but I do quite fancy a good year for you.

| Hudds did well last year when Mamo was fit. If he can stay fit throughout the year it'll make a big difference to where they finish.

Fair enough, 2nd half yeah we we're good, thought you were on about the last few weeks of the season.

Warrington Wolfs - 0
Wakefield Trinity - 0
Leigh Centurions - 0

| people saying that even though the standard of the league is now not much more better than the amateur leagues it’s all ok because a couple of games were exciting, well I saw an exciting game of darts once, doesn’t mean the sport is any good. That’s the salary cap for you but it’s obviously working as Wakefield managed to finish 6th or whatever it was
