Wire v Hull : Fri Jun 10, 2016 8:15 pm  

Can't find a thread for this? Not even a GAME ON one.

Weird game so far, but of skill being shown but so many errors, there's a lot of pressure and squeezing of the ball and Leon Pryce isn't even playing

Are they any neutrals actually still watching?

Sorry Super League, I'm embarrassed us two teams dished up that truly dreadful game which was billed as a top of the table clash. You'll see better performances by Staningly or Stanley Rangers this weekend.

Apparently Wayne Bennett was there, I think he'll be scratching his head after it.

I think it would be fair if Hull were docked two points and Wire docked four after that!

I ended up flicking in between the France, Euro 2016 game and this, i probably enjoyed the football more!
What a dreadful game between the supposedly best 2 teams in our flagship competition.
I'm sure Hull won't be bothered, but if there were any neutrals "enjoying" RL for the first time i doubt they'll be back, woeful stuff from both sides.

Nice change for the sky muppets to actually acknowledge how poor a game it was though

Ridiculous thing to say, only RL fans would think that, how about when two top soccer teams play out a dull match, does the same apply? Test cricket is boring as anything and yet people still go, how about plenty of other sports where the skill level or entertainment wasn't great. There have been plenty of great games this year as there have every year.
Two teams not wanting to lose, both under pressure and conditions not the best, it was on the cards to be a torrid affair and not for the first time in a big 1v2 match.

That's because we were playing. Eddie hates Warrington.

Agreed. Would rather watch a poor game of RL than a good game of football.

Talking of which....anyone else ready for 0-0 tomorrow?

As a hull fan couldn't care what our peformance was like tonight. All I wanted was 2 points in any fashion. Look at the other results tonight, the weather conditions played a big part in all 3 games I would pressure. Wet ball/pitch and humidity in the air was never going to allow a classic game

Re: Wire v Hull : Fri Jun 10, 2016 10:43 pm  

I agree the quality wasn't what it could have been but at no point did I even consider switching over to the football. I did enjoy the conspiracy theory about the ball though.
