The decision which really got me annoyed was the one with Minichiello's disallowed try. He knocked on, fair enough, but how we didnt get the scrum from Williams losing control of the ball in the impact of the tackle I have no idea! Especially as earlier in the half, Yeaman lost the ball 2 yards backwards in the tackle and it was deemed a knock on

The ball lost on impact of the tackle has been classed as a loose carry by the ball carrier and therefore a knock on by that ball carrier as long as I can recall.

Wigan are a rank average team. They are well coached within their limitations but, Williams aside, are clueless in attack now that ratboy seems to have had his pace & heart removed. It's May since they scored 30 points which is unbelievable for a team challenging for the hub cap. Hull have a team packed with talent but their attack is poor, given that talent. Wire are head & shoulders above them in attacking prowess; I can't see past a comfortable Wire win on the big Wembley pitch.

I think Thaler is generally our best ref, but there were a few odd decisions both ways on Friday. Not one of his better games, I'd say.

3rd best points in the league so far

an fc defence that beat wire at their own place, wire only scoring from two fc mistakes!

we have just as good a chance as wire have! if there was ever a 50/50 game at wembley, this is probably the one

The historic notion of Wembley's wide open spaces is a myth.

Don't get me wrong, I'll be down there cheering you on. But Wire have scored 40 or more on 8 occasions this year, Hull 3 times. Your defence is definitely your strong point but I just don't think it will be enough. I will be more than happy to be proved wrong.

They may have scored 40 or more points in 8 games but not against us! That's the most important stat

The wembley pitch will be the regulation 100m long and will be within the guidelines for width

wire are definitely a team who take advantage of poor defence but they're also pretty fragile at times. If Hull dominate their forwards they will likely win unless sandow plays out of his skin on the day

Can't disagree with that. If Hull can only just manage to scrape out a win against half a Wigan side Warrington are going to destroy them.

Do you mean like they have in the regular season. Check your facts before coming out with rubbish.

Yeah, we have had that thrown at us all year - yet still top. Odd that. We did enough to win. I think if Fonua hadnt got injured we would have won be a clearer margin, but that knocked us out of our stride so we just saw the game out

Still bitter then?

Difference will be, Warrington will play the game in the sprite in which its intended and not play the anti-rugby which Wane drills into his negative team. I also think the Warrington players will be more intent on playing rugby rather then chirping at the officials. Ah, now there's another thing, having a neutral official.

All of which should make for a classic final for the top two teams this year.

Like a swarm of angry wasps..you cannot,must not,write or think anything negative about our 150 year old neighbours club.Business end of season now so prepare for weeks of it.god forbid they actually win something

Well after 5 years of being signed up to rlfans and lurking in the background, our decent season so far seems to have given you a nudge & woken you up.

Didn't realise it was that long?thanks for checking though. As I said elsewhere I was genuinely pleased for my black n white mates when they won 2005.if it is fc that win at Wembley Il try to take same view

It's just under your username.

Nice to know you care though, posting on all the threads involving FC. Endemic amongst Rovers fans/administration unfortunately, more concerned with FC than their own perilous position.

Well I do hope it's a close one but let's be honest it wasn't a convincing win against a depleted Wigan team playing very poorly, whereas Warrington blew their opposition off the park.

Hi Shaun.

Yes because Wakefield weren't depleted at all. Not saying the result would be different, Warrington were very impressive. But your sob story of injuries falls on deaf ears. You got beat by Hull fair and square.

Indeed. He takes account of injuries in one game, but doesn't apply it to the other. Inconsistent in his analysis. Anyway, I've just cancelled my hotel and sold my CC Final ticket, as there's no point turning up because we'll get hammered.

I think I've hit a nerve

You will if you don't up your game
