Oh and Grix was good as usual. Underrated.

It was a good result, there's still things to work on but it was a heck of a lot better than some of the performances we have seen this year.

Doesn't make us SL GF winners but it's a step in the right direction.

Plus IF we beat the pies on Friday by about 60 points we go above them in the table lol (not done maths for exact figure)

Could have been red for me. He tried tp take his head off

Couldn't agree more, i was having this chat with somebody at the game and the turnout from the Warrington fans was disgraceful, especially when you consider the amount of tripe that gets put on this forum about getting behind and supporting the team. Let's face it Hull's only 2 hours up the road, there is plenty of coach travel at reasonable prices and still only about 350 max shown up.

On another note a win is a win and it's 2 points on the board, regardless of who was injured for both teams and how inexperienced the players were, we won away to Hull FC and people are still not happy. Ive said it once and ill say it again were a club going through some big changes and you have to take the rough with the smooth but for god sake be happy with the smooth. All you guys moaning about the performance want to get up of your chairs and start to attend some games.

The game last night was a strange one as at the game I thought it was a fantastic win. The whole second half (apart from 3 brain-farts after we finally went in front) we just seemed to batter Hull. Totally dominating them field-position wise to the extent where Mathers was becoming a "Minichelloesque-ball-magnet" for Hull kicks and we were starting our six consistently on the half-way line.

It was like everything that we have ever craved; machine-like, dominating march towards an inevitable victory against a team whom we have no right to expect to turnover at their place. I couldn't wait to watch the tape (I know videos are so 20th century but at least we have a VHS now the betamax has given up the ghost) so headed home double smart-time only to be under-whelmed by the averageness of the match. I guess the lesson is an away win is all the better when you are there to see it.

As for our away suppoert, whilst the numbers from Warrington weren't massive there were many more than went last year and it is surely some time since we can have had anything but an embarassing claim to be the self-proclaimed "best fans in Super League"

and thats your excuse and you're sticking to it?

No excuse, in 2005, a friend of mine was attacked for no other reason than the fact that he was a Wire fan. As a result I intervened because the Stewards refused to, the 'fan' concerned was dealt with in the Courts, but I will never go to the KC again. Quite a few others feel the same way.

Has a fc friend there who apparently counted 200, the other said 160... Now [iif[/i they actually did that, it clearly wasn't a game worth watching

But also is a disappointment either way. I like the stadium but it is pricey but as for travel, its not that much further than most the clubs in Yorkshire. Looking forward to KR in a couple weeks.

So why didn't you go then

You must have been watching a different game ,the supposed high tackle was chest high and the forearm was nothing more than a penalty .

I had to work at in a couple weeks i need to take a weekend unpaid off to visit a friend. And was no point going yesterday as aforemented friend was in Barcelona. Is a stadium i enjoy going to and would have if i didn't have to work.

And to note for argument, didn't go MM and not going Barca.

The high tackle wasn't too bad, don't have a problem with that. The forearm was pointless, why should it be acceptable that once a player is tackled that you should be allowed to fall on someones face intentionally to hurt him.

If thats part of the game then fair enough, but i would rather not see it. Wouldn't be happy if it happened to a Wire player

I have to agree, I wouldn't have played him but then that it why i'm not the coach.

Well done Grix

Fair do's, no argument squire, just a question.

So why did you say that "it could have been a red card for me. He tried to take his head off"?

yeah mate, wasn't arguing


Was arguing with an fc fan other day, defending why so little went. Shame.

I didn't go, had more important things to do....check avatar.

How did he manage to count how many Warrington fans were there when he's in Barcelona?

I have two friends there. It makes more sense to see both at same time, especially as I'm making it a weekend there.

and one counted 200 and one counted 160. So which one was in Hull and which one was in Barcelona?

I see where your coming from. Basically
One is a fc fan (200), her friend (whos friend of mine to i suppose...) counted 160.

The one in Barcelona is a Robin!

Your like a dog with a bone, just wont let go. Quality!!!

was talking about the forearm

are you the chap from stockton heath

If you look at his location it says Stockon on Tees, not Stockton Heath

Less of the Tees bashing
