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.

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.

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.

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