This is so funny. We hold every trophy simultaneously, you beat us the week after lowly Hull put us to the sword and you're suddenly Grand final winners. You hayseeds will apparently never learn that a win mid season against a team going through a trough means absolutely nothing. This happens all the time. It happens to us every season. We beat you at Wembley when it actually mattered. We will beat you the next time it actually matters.

Your season peaked when you beat us, well done. But you are the gimps, the also rans, the never weres. You are a comedy sketch. You will always spend up to the cap, and you will always be the bridesmaids (at best). John Bateman lol

If anyone thinks adding king to the team last night would make a difference, I don't see it.

We were beaten by a better team, and as others have said (as has Burgess) we'll learn from it.

12,000 and odd. Credit to KR, they really brought a following for a Friday night from 'ull and outsang us all night.

Joe Burgess would’ve had a cracking weekend. I thought he played very well on Friday night and then no doubt spent Saturday afternoon cheerfully lobbing bricks at a hotel in Hull. Hope he’s got his feet up today.

Hey Wire have been a breath of fresh air under Sam Burgess I've enjoyed watching you. You are 3rd at worst this year and I'm not saying it won't be even better.

If we are to meet again this season it will be in the play offs ..or maybe even the GF. Hasta la vista.

Burgess said in his pre game interview with Sky that both King and Philbin were fit, they were just left out. Said Fitzgibbon is a week or two away.
