There’s been some incoherent rambles against grading (and a few well put ones too), but this thread has just taken top spot. If any can find logic here, please share 😂
“They are the best team to exist in the modern era of football. They are undisputed.”
Over to you @WiganWarriorsRL and @Saints1890 fans…
"You don’t become a fan by celebrating success. Every true fandom is forged in the fire of heartbreak. We had seen our fair share. We had lived through the fallow years. We had come close before."

The contradiction here with the Vaughan ruling is stark. “Incidents of this nature need to be reviewed on an individual basis and determined accordingly.” If only they'd been this pragmatic, and receptive to letters of support 12 months ago!
Fascinating details have emerged on how Peta Hiku's controversial charge for an incident in the Super League Grand Final was dropped. loverugbyleague.com/post/how…
IT WASN’T AN APPEAL
🍒🏴 The verdict of Luke Thompson's appeal against his one-match ban is in, with the Wigan prop discovering whether he will be available for England duty...

This has potentially huge ramifications. Does a win next week secure @TOXIII promotion to @SuperLeague? If it would, I do think @IMG & @TheRFL are missing a trick, as it would generate huge interest in the game, and prove the importance of on-field performances too.
𝐃𝐈𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐋𝐀 𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐄 !
Nous irons à Wakefield samedi prochain, pour jouer une nouvelle finale ! 👊

This could have huge ramifications for @SuperLeague. @TOXIII will be desperately keen to pick up the 0.25 points for winning the Championship GF. I imagine a lot of @CTRLFC fans are quietly willing @OfficialBullsRL on here (if only to not have to cheer @WTrinityRL on next week!)
For all his offensive brilliance, important to note what Wane will see here: Lewis missed 6 tackles last night, including this crucial one. He missed 8 in the semi. Startling figures & I may concede Smith is the better option, especially after another great display last night
A moment of Bevan French magic to help Wigan Warriors retain the Super League title! 🤩

Really poor. Why use semantics to elevate the achievement? You’re doing the great history of the sport down here.
Congrats @WiganWarriorsRL: the fifth team to win All Four Cups in a season, and the first club to do it twice 👏👏

Eventful journey to the #GrandFinal today. Here safe and sound enjoying the lounge now though.
If I was a @hullkrofficial fan, I’d be lapping up this new found online hate towards them. It shows they’re a genuine power in the game now, & have finally caught opposition fans attention. Everyone says we want to see different clubs competing, until they actually are 🤷♂️
Interesting to see this, and the comments, in light of the discussions last week about @hullkrofficial ticketing.
Premiership Rugby wants to support clubs in setting up designated away ends to boost rugby atmospheres

‘No way in the world’ we could beat @hullkrofficial or @WiganWarriorsRL, so we’ll swerve it to save face.
Penrith have pulled the World Club Challenge in 2025. They've said there is 'no way in the world' they can play in the event due to their schedule. So no matter who wins on Saturday, they won't face the Panthers.

I'm glad this has finally got a bit of traction. @TrinityHeritage has done a great job of getting this on the radar & I've made sure it's been flagged. Expect it to get a lot more attention this week, as it's going to feature in the RFL's InTouch media release tomorrow 👍

Just caught up on the @NRL GF. Not sure I've seen enough improvement in @PenrithPanthers to think they'll worry either @WiganWarriorsRL or @hullkrofficial next season, so expect @SuperLeague will confirm it's current 'top dog' status - no doubt the excuse will be leaving players
It’s deliciously ironic to find a Rovers fan complaining about officials after this weeeknd, and proves my point made elsewhere about the ask for consistency.
Someone please tell me the diffrence? and why Joe Burgess was yellow carded and Gareth O'brian wasnt?

For a short thread on where Wigan's potential (and important to note at this point it's still only 'potential'!) achievement stands, check this out: xitter.cf/RL_RKC/status/18426631…
(note the correction, that Wigan 2024 would become only the 5th team to achieve All Four Cups, not the 6th)
