Charnley banned for 2 games so misses the semi final.

<sigh>

You have to say that this was the most stupid reason to receive a ban ever. Entirely his fault and totally deserved I'm afraid.

Tautai also got 2 games and misses the semi final.

No issue with either. They've both let themselves and the club down really with silly bans when we can least afford it.

Good opportunities for others now to step up.

Can't complain about either, hopefully the entire squad will now get it's act together discipline wise.

I think that we need to get our discipline in order immediately otherwise it could be yet another case of If only

I fancy us for the treble this year but if our ill discipline continues then it's not inconceivable that we miss the ideal chance to scoop the rewards in probably the most mediocre SL season that I have ever seen

I agree. It's been a poor quality season, the fact we are joint top with having had 7-8 injuries per game since March with a very low positive points scored just shows how poor it's been.

Put all our unfit players out on the field we would romp this competition.

Charnley out, Tierney on the wing with SamT to full back.
TT out, Sutton to front row with Bateman back row and Lockers returning.

Agree we need to sort out the discipline.
60 mins against Wakey with 12 men and won, won't be repeated.
Josh also lucky he wasn't sent of v Leeds with contact on the referee.

Both fully deserved, and both big misses as both have been on very good form.

Nobody to blame but themselves and really let the team down.

If you put your unfit players out on the field, you would finish bottom ...not top.

Both let themselves down as others have said no issue with either ban.

All these "both fully deserved" and "no complaints" posts must make irritating reading for some of our 'guest readers'!

Yet there's still probably a 23 page thread on the VT stating how we're all crying and blaming The RFL and Leeds.

The bad feeling towards Wigan has really ramped up a notch these past few months. A trophy win this year would be fabulous. The thought of all the tiny tears around Yorkshire way would make it extra special.

It's the arrogance amongst a section of your fan base and your coach that irks some people

Everyone hates you because of your foul tactics, it's certainly not your overladen trophy cabinet is it?

Indeed. The world's most successful RL club is hardly going to need one.

Yeah, but what was your grandad's excuse, and his grandad's excuse, and his grandad's excuse?

Everyone hates us because despite our lean period of success since 1995 where we "only" won the Challenge Cup three times and were Super League Champions "only" three times we remained the biggest name in the sport.

Bet Hull fans they wished they had our lean period, where as they usually judge a successful season if they finish in a higher position that their near neighbours.

It would seem though that this season at least they have started to 'think bigger' for once.

From a Hull fan

Really?

This board has literally gone mad these past few weeks. You lot would kill for the amount of trophies we've won in the last 6 years and that's before we go on to discuss the 100+ years prior to that.

Christ, you guys would even kill for our past two years worth of Grand Final defeats.

Hull fans are hilarious

one season wonders every 10 years. See you again in 2026.

The Hull Derby.

A bit like two dwarves arguing over which one is the tallest.

They'd have to be overseas (imported) dwarfs though!!!

" How far away are they "

The club appealed both bans - Charnley's failed and remains at 2 games. Tautai downgraded to a B and reduced to a one game ban.

Meltdown central is about to begin.
