| People who say "my source" when they really just mean; "I heard someone say"
The RFL. Specifically its spectacular ability to make our game appear distinctly unprofessional to the wider public
BskyB and their scheduling of Rugby league games on Thursdays.
Tony Smiths nervous tv interviews
Shaun Wane for being a miles better coach than I'd have liked
Shaun Wane's face
That "Sean" Edwards thread because his name is wrong
Fucking "beep beep" e from stevo
Richard silverwoods face
Shaun Wane's voice
Cringe empty stadiums on tv
.. I'll have more

| Some that spring to mind:
The Clubcall for the Playoff Semi-Finals. Scrap it.
The draw for the Challenge Cup rounds at different times, sometimes days or a week after the previous round. Have it on BBC2 straight after the live televised game on the Sunday - aka the semi final draw after we beat Huddersfield in the Quarter Final at home.
London's home crowds.
London's lack of a home ground for next season.
Bradford fans shouting "FORRRRRRRWARD" at Odsal everytime the opposition have the ball.
Crowds for International games. We should be selling out Wembley Stadium for the World Cup semi-final double header, yet I suspect we'll see a crowd of around 60k at Wembley this year if we're lucky.
Yellow lines at the HJ.
Losing away to Hull KR each season - think we've lost the last 3 times we've played there.
Losing to Widnes.
No real meaning to the League Leaders Shield.
Blatant forward passes that are ignored by the touch judges.
The band at Headingley, comes across really bad when live on Sky Sports.
Queueing up hours for tickets for a final when you can order them online in 2 minutes. What's that all about?
People on here saying "Have you rung the club shop" when somebody asks a genuine question.

| T*ssers like Ablett and JJB that do all sorts of sh*t in the tackle, but are absolutely outraged as soon as somebody gives the slightest bit back.
Leeds fans saying the season means f*ck all 'cause they won it a few times from lower positions, yet they all hold season tickets and moan like f*ck all season anyway.
Widnes fans going to the Grand Final, wearing Wigan scarves, but singing Widnes songs.
Higham's passes out of dummy half that barely reach the laces.
Players taking voluntary tackles.
Loose forwards that have no ability in attack.
RL matches on a Thursday night.
Cost of a Dominos pizza in the stadium.
The barmy army chant.

| PA music after trys/goals are scored
Warrington having "Wolves" tagged on to their name
Grown men wearing jester's hats/face paint/any other novelty attire to matches
People who use this forum regularly but still haven't grasped the concept of the swear filter meaning words like "poop" and "booty" regularly appear in their posts when that is almost certainly not what they typed
Warrington not being champions
Knowing already that no matter what we do next season we'll find a way to ensure in September or October it is ultimately deemed a waste
Sky Sports
People on here who immediately jump to the club's defence even when there's no need to do so (eg when complaints are made about stewarding or ticket prices)
Cheerleaders
Continuing the inconsistency of some games having a video ref and some not meaning you still see trys chalked off at VR games you know would have been given at other games - it's been years now - have them at every game or no games

| The way video refs cannot disallow a try for a forward pass even though sometimes it is crystal clear the ball is passed forward....................on top of the fact they can disallow a try for a knock on!!!
Does it really matter how the ball travels forward???

Clarification required on that one, does that include really obvious questions, where it would have been quicker to actually ring the club shop, than come on here, do a post and wait for an answer?

| Must admit I don't really care what the ground is called, probably because I always just refer to it as "the ground" anyway.
"Wolves" has irritated me a lot for 16 years though. It even winds me up when fans of other clubs refer to their own team by their Super League era "nickname". I can handle Cas and Salford doing it because they probably did refer to them as the Tigers and Reds/Red Devils in the past anyway, but hearing Wakefield fans call their team "Wildcats" for example just bugs me.
As for Huddersfield - they seem to chant for "Giants" and "Fartown" in equal measure. Well which is it hedge betters?!
The only two I find mildly tolerable are Bulls and Rhinos, but that's probably because they took off in popularity so quickly I've been forced to get used to them. The rest though - forget it.

| People who keep going back and forth to the toilet every five minutes during a game, having consumed copious amounts of alcohol that they blatantly can't hold. (And if you were that bald bloke with glasses in block WU201, row 17, at Old Trafford, then yes I DO mean you!).

Apparently the ref's video replays will not show forward passes...the machines are made by a company with branches in Leeds & Wigan.

| The ball being booted downfield, and it going dead, and the returning side only start on their own 20. If it's gone dead, after it was kicked anywhere outside say 30m from the posts, the opposition should start from 40m out. It's just plain laziness/no attacking ideas from the original team.
Only having forwards on the bench
Getting my hopes up, when we've established a 14 point lead in a GF
Lack of biff (but not outandout thuggery/cheap shots)
Driving home from GF defeats in silence (at least Mrs G had just started watching the Sky+d Strictly when I came in, and a certain Breakfast presenter was on. I cheered up a bit, then)
Lack of atmosphere outside the ground for a GF
And Olly ####ing Murs

The Early Bird renewal day is like the DFS sale. Will it be like last year in that due to popular demand the deal will be extended. The other hate is that when those that buy a season ticket later will get a free foam hand or Grand Final t shirt or some other product the shop can't sell.

You must have seen them? They either have a finger sticking out to indicate number 1 or a thumb sticking up. I can't say nothing to be fair. My daughter made me buy her one for Wembley the other year.

No it shouldn't. we should take a lead from RU and make it where it was kicked from. That would stop it.

Pet hates.
When returning a deep kick, the fullback wastes valuable time and allows the chasing team team to gain valuable yards by passing the ball to the winger to let him return.
It losses yards, fools nobody and winds me up!'"
There aare sound coaching reasons for this. Firstly, the ball is being carried into the centre channel so the attack can build left or right of the ruck from that point on.
Secondly, if the winger doesn't receive the ball he acts as a decoy drop-off runner thus creating possible hesistancy in the chasing defenders.
Thirdly, the player who doesn't receive the ball is then in close proximity to take a scoot, particularly important if the kick returner secures a quick PTB during the defence-attack transition.

| Look at Wigan as an example, Tomkins will receive the ball but the defensive line on the kick chase is usually sound if not a little disjointed.
To utilise the effectiveness of Tomkins broken field running he'll drop the ball off to either Richards or Charnley.
Charnley/Richards role is to then hurry the fook up and get up off the tackle, Tomkins then runs at a retreating defensive line and gains more yards with his elusive running.
Now without the support of the wingers, Tomkins drives in, there is no quick play because there isn't the support.
Plus without the wingers support the defence can rush the FB, with the support of the wingers the defence has to have one mind on the cut out pass that puts the winger in to space.
