Why is there a bickering session going on here. Hull won, they're having a good season and we're rubbish. Would I rather they lost, of course but they didn't and I can't begrudge them it. Much rather them win it like that than a lucky cup run during a bad season.
Just hope we can get through this year rebuild and join them up there, would gI've RL a real shot in the arm to have a spell like in the 80s
Completely agree, br. It'd have been a bit galling if they'd had a jammy draw and then Wire had put in a sub-par performance in the final. But they earned it, so credit where it is due.
It has been an astonishing season. Their team still doesn't look all that on paper to me - there were seven or eight in that team that I'd be deeply unexcited about signing for Rovers. Pritchard as well, given he's supposedly marquee. But as a collective they've got it done week in, week out. And that is admirable - depressingly so.
At the other end of the spectrum - Leeds.
And it is heartening to see that SL has still/again has the capacity to surprise. Where there is change there is opportunity.
