Wigan have been poor this year, yet they're 2nd. If you think this comp has had any quality in it then I'm not sure what your watching

They are fourth. The table as it stand suggests that three teams have been poor with the rest of the league being relatively open.

Just goes to prove how poor SL is at this time. Treble winners 2nd bottom, Huddersfield can't buy a win Wigan getting stuffed by Wakey.

Super League is different and a bit bizarre this year, Barham. Our beloved sport has dished up more unpredictable results than ever on the pitch at the half way stage, with a different new order in the top half of the league. Recruiting good quality NRL players in key positions would seem to be an indicator of success to date, possibly breaking the salary cap by creative means looking at the crowd in Perpignan.

Whether the top 6 will finish that way come season end is debatable. It depends purely on injuries to key players imo and the quality of squad depth.

Anything's possible now. Hull kicking on and winning the league and ending up losing the Grand Final. Rovers finishing in the top 8, Wakefield finishing in the top half of the table, Salford being deducted 10 points. I expect our Black and White friends will resort to predictable "pigs might fly" responses to this.

I guarantee the following will remain absolute certainties going into next season:

- Our refereeing standards will remain dire
- Our RFL disciplinary interpretations, procedures and outcomes will remain inconsistent
- We will continue to under fund and under market our great sport on a national scale and allow that idiotic code that is yawnion to remain ludicrously over exposed and pinch our best players
- The gulf in quality between SL and NRL games from a skill perspective will widen unless we improve the cap
- Radford In T Shirts will outsell Hull City of Culture 2017 T Shirts over the next 12 months

Gotta go, before the men in white coats arrive.

Come on Barham Red, this is obviously the best super league comp ever, Hull are in the top 4. Record attendances, super league clean sweep against the NRL teams, best standard of refereeing ever.

The standard of pond life from across the river is also the best ever, lots of time and effort in their trolling, derailment and witty bantz, it’s the best ever. I am sure in their own minds they think they are interesting and funny #besteversuperleague #treblewinners #ficklefans

I have just connected to #treblewinners and it keeps weirdly saying. Yeaman wins Donkey Derby, Yeaman wins club badge kissing competition, Yeaman wins Hull fans vote as favourite for early contract termination before the start of 2016 season. It also predicts that Scott Taylor is second favourite to win the same 2017 award after Yeaman, who is favourite to retain his crown.

Are you sure you didn't mis-spell it? Mind you, sensibly enough I am not on Twittering, so that might explain.

Hey Pickering, if you are new to twitter you should try #ficklefans it randomly gets redirected to hokeycokey.com where there is a Radford out then a Radford in thread, then a Radford out then a Radford in. Occasionally it gets redirected to #suicidewatch and then loops back round to #treblewinners. I reported this to my internet service provider and they told me not to worry and that it changes on a match by match basis.

On the basis of our efforts against Cats and Wakefield, you might just have a point or 4 or null points in our case. Believe me, I derive the biggest pleasure from being a diehard Rugby League fan and taking the p*ss out of my saddo neighbours, who are respectively Football and Rugby Yawnion supporters.
