| Quote: Chris McKean "Fair enough if that's your opinion. Would you mind explaining yourself though
They have the edge on the interchange, mainly due to Crabtree, and I haven't listed them below but I think our starting options more than cover that
Adrian Morley - 8 - Keith Mason
Michael Monaghan - 9 - Scott Moore
Gareth Carvell - 10 - Darrell Griffin
Louis Anderson - 11 - Stephen Wild
Ben Harrison - 12 - Liam Fulton
Ben Westwood - 13 - David Faiumu'"
you having a laugh mate |

The last time Dire won anything the mullet was still in fashion, there was no channel tunnel show how long ago it was, Dire never has been or never will a big club hope they enjoy there party but remember the present hasn`t been opened yet as for Bulls show where they are today even there own fans have jumped ship.

They do say that the best way to make a delusion seem real is to keep on reiterating it. You know, it's the old "tell a lie often enough and everyone will believe it" routine.
That, I'm guessing, is what you wusses are trying to do on here. But you're wasting your breath, because we know it isn't true. And so do you.

I'd be more inclined to believe you if you didn't keep saying it - as if you were trying to convince yourself.
Big clubs don't need to announce their arrival. The world already knows about them. But then the last time you lot made the headlines was when you paid a fortune for a very washed-up, soon to be scandal-struck Aussie to play two matches for you. Even today, several of the dailies were less congratulatory and more concerned that your appearance in the Cup Final would cause attendance problems.
I happen to think you'll sell out, but that will be despite you not because of you. Whereas if it was us, there'd no problem - as you well know but would never have the balls to admit. |

| Quote: Billinge_Lump "For a supposed big and famous club, Wire fans don't half have a small club mentality. Jeez, the biting on this thread lol.
Robinson is right, this is a harder sell to the general public than a final with Saints, Wigan or Leeds in it. Face facts, not matter how competitive you are [inow[/i, neither Huddersfield nor Warrington have won trophies for a long time. Trophy winners get publicity, clubs that have rarely competed in a final for 20+ years don't.
The fact that it should be a close fought game matters little outside the RL fraternity, because people outside that fraternity won't know that.'" more of a reason for it to capacity not a trophy winning a trophy will in fact attract more fans from the said towns as it's a once in a blue moon occasion where familiarality breeds contempt and the attitude "well i'll go next year when we get there" |

| Quote: ROBINSON "OK, so the final is the new Hollywood Blockbuster, and instead of having Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in the starring roles, we now have two actors from Coronation Street.
Certain Corrie actors are very good, but they don't exactly have Brangelina's profile, do they?
So, the question is this. Knowing that, even though they have the two most deserving teams, the final isn't exactly going to be glamorous, or an easy sell. How much harder are the RFL going to have to work to sell this final to the general public, ie NON-RL fans, or are they better off not bothering, and hoping they get two teams next year who are more famous and already in the public conscious?
Discuss.'"
Awwwwww diddums
Do you reckon if Wigan had of got through the game would have been any better? Especially if Saints had won - they tonk you every time
Don't worry Pie fans - we'll wave at you from Wembley
