The RFL x files
A lot of conspiracy theorists on the Hull site with a Wakey fan joining in. The RFL wanted Wigan and Saints to win.

My personal favourite is the Hull poster who was moaning about the mess at the play the ball. Apparently it all started 20 yrs ago when Wigan decided not use their foot at the play the ball.

Apparently Kim Jong-un is a wigan fan....

Kim Jong just wants the domination over his people like we have over the RFL.

He is jealous of us.

Certain fans reaction to a Wigan win is beyond embarrassing, on these boards, social media and in "real life". Why is it that certain people seem to lose the power of rational thought at the mere mention of Wigan?

There's a poster on the Dire forum who says they're done with RL if we win the Grand Final. That's before those who lack any basic common sense or self awareness who claim Wigan are cheats (despite the fact their team have been penalised more this season i.e. been found to have cheated the rules more).

Then we have the truly moronic who believe The RFL and therefore all the refs and touch judges favour Wigan and Leeds, who completely forget the Clubb no try at Wembley and the Barba "try" last week.

I want to win the GF now just to laugh at the rage, bile and conspiracies from an embarrassingly large proportion of the RL community.

Given that we've stuttered & struggled all year & Cas & FC have been the consistent teams (& Leeds, he says through gritted teeth), it would show up the main flaw in the current format of these play-offs if we [iwere [/ito get to Trafford Rovers' ground, would it not? If we then went on to win, Yorkshire would go into meltdown. There would be a rhubarb massacre.
Not saying it wouldn't be nice, but I can't help thinking of the IOC & how they altered the cycling to prevent GB winning everything. But then we still went on winning everything.

If McIlorum and Watts traded places last night and McIlorum had been sent off for a similar incident I'm certain the VT and opppsition supporters in general would feel just the same sense of injustice for Micky as they seem to for Watts.

Honest they would.

Just to correct you Hull are anything but consistent this year.
Castleford are the only consistent club this season

He is indeed! He plans to test his next nuclear bomb on St. Helens ground, expecting to cause £1.75 worth of damage to their cladding...

Paul Wellens is looking forward to it, as he's hoping to gain superpowers like The Flash.

Totally agree, but I think they are stoked by Team Muppet on Sky. I've never heard any commentators talk as much about a 'forward pass', which at the very worst, was a line-ball.

Having watching the video again since, I also notice one of them trying to claim that McIlorum was at fault for shooting out of the line - when he clearly intended to go around the body, in other words, affect a big tackle ... which, when Hull did them, won huge acclaim.

Ludicrous bias from so-called professional neutrals.

I found this season that an added bonus of going to away games is not having to sit in the pub and listen to Hemmings and co's drivel on the TV. They spoil the game so much for me that on games I don't go to, I almost prefer to stay at home and listen to the game on Wish.

Just thought I'd pop by and say well done for yesterday's game. Should really have put them to the sword but Gildarts drop and poor kicking let them back in game.They are a horrid bunch and the crying about the ref is default position.Lovely weekend. Hope you do well.

This scenario has been on the cards for months, Wigan fighting back from nowhere and pinching a place in the top 4. With the exception of Leeds (who know they have the pedigree to hold off Wigan and win the GF) they are all crapping themselves about us. It's going to be a fun few weeks

Thought the props did excellent on Friday, all of them except Sutton making over 9m average gain which is very good, espically thought there was a big improvement from FPN, seeing him trying to bust the tackles instead of falling to the floor straight away was a welcome, if the props play like that every week we won't lose many games

They played exactly as our props should play with the rest and rotation handed out. They all should be running their hearts out.
