You've been done 4-21 on your own pitch, dumped out of the competition by a team that finished 7th. That tells me that you are rubbish but everyone else has known that for ages.
But I have news for you, this is as good as it gets. Next year you have Sean Long on mega bucks in his 37th year. We have Willie Mason and |Blake Green plus the team that crushed you tonight.
Never mind you'll probably win the 'most injuries' comp again.
You do keep very very similar times to another key poster on here. Odd, but I can understand why it would look bad for your alter ego to post in this fashion.
I don't see why you are reporting this as "news" to me? I've been very clear on here for ages that Rovers would win yesterday. Rovers will be stronger for sure next year. But the context I guess is that you were 7th and beat a team in 6th that has beaten you twice this year and finished above you after the regular rounds. Hudgell promised you would be challenging for silverware by 2009, which presumably means getting to a final as it's difficult to challenge without doing that. I know Vella has said you will win the competition this season in the HDM, but do you think you should consider that Warrington, Wigan, Saints, Leeds and Huddersfield might not just roll over as easily as we did? Being the best team in Hull is a bit like qualifying for an Olympic final as a fastest loser. Important for bragging rights etc, but does it make you a genuine contender when your opponents are so poor? I'm not entirely sure.
