Thought all monies from the play offs were pooled and shared out, thats what was said last season.

lets make the east stand rock on sunday

So, let's get this straight:
Warrington are at home
Warrington have moved the game to afford them an 8 day turnaround for the Challenge Cup
Warrington are joint second with Saints and in clear danger of losing home advantage to Saints (who it's fair to say are their nemesis in the competition) unless they beat FC
Chris Bridge returns for Warrington this week
Monaghan was rested last week so returns, refreshed, this week
FC are missing 5 of their starting backs, including full back, and both half backs (assuming Tansey gets a ban)
FC haven't won in the regular league at Warrington since 2004

So how much [uare[/u you betting on FC to win this one?

The only players that didn't appear the week before last year's final were King, Hicks and Higham.

Morley, Briers, Monaghan, Carvell, Westwood etc all played.

He's popped to the bookies.

Looking at the table you need to win next week to keep the pressure on the Rovers. If you lose it is likely you will be playing AWAY at Hull KR or Leeds in the play offs depending on other results.

thought they did that Friday night?

have they, I could have sworn they moved it because sky are televising it and told them to move it, still never let the facts get in the way of a good story

I'd offer you the same bet I offered FCimp, and which I'd have lost if he'd taken it, before our play-off game with Wigan - that was that I stay of the Hull board [upermanently[/u, in return for you staying off here. But truth be told, the long big punch up needs two. In a manoeuvre in no way influenced by the accounts deadline, how about a month?

If you continue with this incessant flirting you are going to be in [iso much trouble[/i with Mrs. Mild Rover. Believe me, I know of these women from The Middle Lands, they go for us Northern fellas as a way of moving up the food chain, but once they've got their chompers in they're like leeches. Leeches I tell you. Did you like that last little bit? It needs to be said in a Welsh accent as I'm celebrating The pmh Crews assault on Cardiff next year.

We're like the Liz Taylor and Richard Burton of RLfans, defined by each other and our mutual addictions (albeit to statistics and one-up-manship rather than alcohol and making cr@ppy films for boatloads of cash) - notice the neatly interwoven Welsh thread theme also.

Much-maligned as I am on here, I think you'd secretly like a red and white version of Mrs B (gosh - talking about myself in the 3rd person - the spirit of Paul Cooke lives on) to plague the Hull FC board.

Hmm, I feel an alias coming on. Good third personage, not as good as any boxer but still good.

Taylor was very good in Brooks' "Cat On A Hot Tin Roof", perhaps Mild Rover could be your Brick.

Now, if my bet isn't being taken, back on topic.

PS. Mrs Mild Rover is from Ashton under Lyne (near Oldham). I might make her an account, although she knows nothing about RL. She'd fit right in - ba dum tish.



PPS. Am I Burton or Taylor?



Never mind... Rovers vs Wigan.

Cleopatra was dull though. Like a good "sandals" epic, like Ben Hur or Spartacus, but it was as interesting and insightful as a 4 hour loop of Justin's pre match media talkathons but with 5,000 extras. Morgan would make a good Roman - could talk at the forum for hours, nice outfit with a plumed helmet, and he likes horses too, so that's the chariot racing sorted.

Will we see a massive Wigan backlash? Surely they can't play as bad as last night 2 weeks in a row. They've lost another 4 times this season and have responded by:

W 48-24, W 28-10, W 36-12 and W 46-0. So yer... Good luck fellas.

You are absolutely right. Hull FC and yourself are indeed defined by Hull Kingston Rovers. When you mention Hull FC most of the world says 'Oh goodness, I didn't know there are 2 teams in Hull'.

Rovers indeed are as famous as Liz Taylor but Hull are not so much a Richard Burton more a Keith Chegwin. What's the point of you? The world doesn't know you exist.

Were you once friends with Michael Jackson? Me neither. I guess we'll never know, then, like the Starbelly and Plainbelly Sneetches of Dr Seuss.

HAVING SEEN WIGAN CAPITULATE AGAINST HUDDERSFIELD WE SHOULD HAVE NO FEAR I PREDICT A TWO SCORE WIN FOR THE MIGHTY ROBINS

CHEGGERS PLAYS POP!!

not one to usually get over excited about games but really looking forward to this one

Done knack all for the last 30 years you mean?

I would have been more confident if Wigan had won yesterday but I still think that we are in good enough form to win and at home we can't be written off.

I'm glad it's turned out like this. Last home game of the season (maybe) it might as well be Wigan with everything to play for.

Whereas Cheggers has gone from strength to strength.

A naked quiz show on channel 5?

Tbf he did give his finest performance on extras.
