Odd to think that one of Wigan's rare defeats this year came at the hands of our useless shower!

How on earth did that afternoon pan out the way it did? It's still a surreal result from both sides of view!!

About as accurate as your prediction that the only 10k attendance we'll get next year will be the derby.

Do feel sorry for kr fans skipping meals to go to old Trafford.
Kr did give it a good dig but they really do need an organiser if they’re ever going to win a trophy.
Thankfully we wont have our resident dobbins perched on here for a few months.

Yes, I'll concede that! I was holding back a feeling of intense schadenfreude. The wine (not Liebfraumilch I hasten to add) does taste particularity sweet tonight.

The next bit of comedy will be seeing how the latest temporary golf stand compliments the rest of the shabby chic carbuncle. Lipstick on a pig springs to mind

So there’s no trip to Vegas or Sydney
But at least they got a challenge match against York in Rotterdam.

If there's one depressing statistic to come out of tonight, it's the fact that only four clubs have now won the last 35 rugby league titles, going all the way back to Widnes in April 1989.

The game really does need someone to shake up what seems to be an entrenched established order, just as long as the someone isn't them

I don't want to dwell on their misfortune but is the customary plucky losers homecoming event still going ahead?

The last one wasn't that well attended I seem to recall.

That's a great point. The lack of competitiveness is one of the reasons the game is in trouble.

the most commen factor in those winners, they produced /produce their own, even Bradford had home produced players, quick fix buying still not the magic solution
