Re: Video Refs

Fully agree, the VR system in RL is one of the few things we've got right. hearing the thought processes of the video ref shows the protocols work, they start every decision with "the on field decision was" and "its from a kick so we start with onside/offisde" the VR controls th...

Re: Grand final winner rings

That’s my opinion too Dave, all the players who have played in SL for their home club, have contributed to getting there. I'd potentially disagree with that. The general principle is sound, but if you have a game where you send the kids somewhere and they get battered (KR to us as an example) - in ...

Re: Grand final winner rings

It's an interesting one this. I'd assumed that it was only the 17 who played on the day got a ring but that would mean that a player could play a major role in the season e.g. Byrne and not get a ring. On the other hand you may get somebody who's drafted in at the last minute, as nearly happened wi...

Re: Number 13

IF Farrell comes, it'll likely be him. Regardless of whether I think its right for the club or not.

If he doesn't, I'd think possibly Thompson. Although I'd rather see him at prop.

I'd like it to be O'Neill after what he's done there this season, but time will tell.

Re: Hull FC memberships compared with rest of Super League as table laid out

I asked for auto renewal to be set up a few years ago. 1st year didnt happen, rang up and asked about it - was told it was too late, but they set it up over the phone for the next year. 2nd year - didnt happen again - rang up and explained what had happened the previous year and they set it up again...

Re: The Wigan Way Podcast

I started to listen to the GF special on the way into work this morning - just let them know that they've started the intro music and chat at the same time so one runs over the other :lol: Usually good - obviously some Wigan bias, but open to flaws and where improvements are needed. Overall an enjoy...

Re: Grand Final Ticket update

What a piss take this is. Website states "Tickets purchased online or over the telephone will go off sale at 5pm on Monday 9th October to ensure postage". So when the Cat5 ones went on sale back end of yesterday afternoon, I bought them as they were Wigan end and all that was available. De...

Re: Grand Final Ticket update

So poorly managed - I bought Cat5 ones through Wigan yesterday when no more went live after a while, but if I'd know these were going on I'd have waited!
