Irrelevant, we're going to Australia as it is.

Thanks for the mature replies.

They were accurate, what does the WCC matter now, Wigan won it and nothing else, Hull FC are going to Australia, potentially with a higher profile than Wigan.

Accurate? It was a simple question. I wasn't sure of the WCC format this year.

I'm embarrassed to be from Hull.

Try having some manners.

Yes I believe we would get a WCC game if they apply the same criteria as 2017 but I depends how many NRL teams are up for it

I'm embaressed you're from Hull too sweetpea

Lmfao.
The replies on here shows why hundreds of members do not bother with this forum anymore.
Too many w2nkers on here.

The replies were fine, what is your issue?

A WCC game at the KCOM would be great but our immediate concern is winning tonight. The RFL have not mentioned the format of next year's WCC as far as I'm aware. There's certainly no added pressure on us tonight in this regard.

It will be different criteria this time round.
Probably the team that finishes 6th in the league plays in the WCC.

Has a WCC even been mentioned at all?

The irony is strong with this one

For goodness sake, a simple question was asked so why all the sh*tty replies???
Based on previous years, the Grand Final winners receive an automatic game against the NRL Grand Final winners, without having to pay for the privilege. Any further games are opened up to the runners up and other top 4 clubs, however a fee of circa £150k has to be paid to cover the costs of the extra NRL team coming over. Whether the opportunity is taken up depends entirely on the finances of the proposed clubs.

It was a simple question wrapped up with an irrelevant comment.

There is no added pressure for this evenings game.

Wonder if you win the GF whether there is a possibility that the WCC will be held in oz, would make more sense with you being over there.

Otherwise it'll be a heavy early schedule for you lot.

I agree that the title is a little OTT and that the only pressure for tonight is actually getting to OT!

However, I just don't see why people can't be bloody nice, this place would be so much easier to be around if they were.

That would make a lot of sense. In that case, it won't happen

Calm down everyone, no need for any arguing, especially on a day like today. We need to be as one and complete the job in hand against Leeds.

I wish the format was just set down at the start of the season. Either Grand Final Winners and Challenge Cup, or just the Grand Finsl Winners for me.

No doubt the RFL will still find a case for the 6th best side in the competition!?!

On a side note, as much as we all love Hull, let's not pretend we have as higher profile or more historical success than Wigan, as we haven't and any RL history book will back that up.

What were the "sh*tty" replies, Karen?

The OP asked a simple question, on whether if we reach the GF, do we receive an automatic WCC spot. I honestly don't understand why people can't just give a nice reply. As has been said, it's no wonder people don't post anymore if they get jumped upon for asking something.

I don't see how the replies were "ty", and people don't post because they use Twitter etc. instead.

I don't recall anything about "nice" in the AUP?

None of those three replies were "sh*tty".

Well my idea of how to speak to other people is clearly different to yours. I'm just thankful that I don't feel the need to speak to people in that manner and respond to questions in pleasant manner, answering them with facts. The OP's responses clearly show he was affronted by the imo sh*tty replies.

LOCK IT

Yep, I barely come on here anymore.



I'd say yes, IF there is more than one team in it next year,
If Cas win they will be both LLS and GF winners so it will go to either CC winners or GF runners up. Both will be us.

The spot could go to Catalan. Cos its a shame that they are where they are
