To all those poor souls enjoying the millenium magic, keep enjoying it, as I see that we are down 6 points to 22 at the moment.
Another Cullen masterclass!

Warrington winning 24 to 22 now.
come on !!!

Hung on to win 36 - 34 against a poor Giants side. How on earth does PC expect to beat Saints next week?
If we had played the way we did againbst Saints, then we should have walked all over the Giants.
I jyust hope that the 2 points have not persuaded anybody that PC is the man to take us any further.

A poor giants sied why ?

BJ from Woolston - Who are ya! Who are ya! Your clearly not a fan, you would rather sit at home on your comp than be with the true fans. This weekend was about fun and entertainment and we so got what we came for. Stop being so bitter.
Posted by: BJ, Woolston on 11:40am Sun 4 May 08
tig - I am not bitter, and I am a fan. Just couldn't afford a trip to Cardiff. Glad you can. Season ticket is my limit.
Fun and entertainment are both very well, but struggling against Giants doesn't sound much fun to me.
Believe Briers was brilliant in second half though. Down which wing did Giants score their tries?
Posted by: Chris, Newton-Le-Willows on 5:31pm Sun 4 May 08
why don't you all stop this banal whinging & get behind the coach & the team as Briers said after the match it was not the coache's fault but the team & they went out in the 2nd half to prove it and yes I WAS THERE

fantastic weekend, defo be going next year

Yes, a great weekend. Well run and good value. Great location. Only suggestions would be to open the roof at least part way, and dont set off fireworks in an enclosed stadium ! Smoke took ages to disappear and didnt make any sense.

poor hud side? they didnt look poor to me. turning point in 1st half was a morley pass going to no one. he doesn't normally pass in our own ten. seemed to throw us. but fair play to the lads they came out fired up and took it to them inspired by none other than briers well done. least itwasn't a one sided event like wakey V cas, Leeds V brad and last but not least Sts V wig how bad was that. did some one say cull out , noble in or was that not the coachs fault yesterday unless his names cullen. great character to come back from 22 to 6 down at half time, people quick to knock have good grace to applaud a great 2nd half effort. well done lads. went last year and this roll on next year, cant wait. noticed some wire fans had shirts with wolves logo next to catalans logo, great shirt. anyone know werethey purchased them from. looking for ideas for shirt for our trip to the catalans game in june. come on you wolves
Posted by: Neil, Sankey on 2:31pm Mon 5 May 08
great weekend, great atmosphere even the Hull fc fans behaved themselves, can't wait for next year. Catalan trip to look forward to in the meantime. COME ON THE WOLVES

Up the smurfs. Watch out for them in 2009, they'll b back. Awesome weekend, fantastic atmosphere, fantastic sport, fantastic fans (all clubs). No other sport could do this. Lloyd from the st helens rejects shanty town is a tool. Apparently, fthers day isn't celebrated in Earlestown cos it causes too much confusion.

Glad u enjoyed the smurfs chaddy they were just as good as play your cards right. we had a ball in cardiff hope they host it again.nice to see so many fans enjoying a fantastic weekend

Glad u enjoyed it ninny. Heard RFL unhappy with Millenium Stadium Marketing & promotion efforts & are consdering a move to Murrayfield.
Pitch too far from crowd there, up the taffs.

Went to both challenge cup finals in edinburgh, and can honestly say both were brilliant weekends. The walk from haymarket to the stadium is like an extended wembley way and the atmosphere of 80,000 rugby fans all walking 1 mile in the same direction in fancy dress or their teams colours is fantastic. The rose street area takes some beating for bars and restaraunts, and the locals genuinely embrace the occasion. I for 1 will definitely be counting down the days until millenium III if Edinburgh gets the nod.

went to cardiff for 1st time it was fantastic. as to the fans booing cull after a disaster of a 1st half then cheering and claping 2nd half shame on you its the same every week,it ain`t cull on the pitch throwing the ball giving away silly penaltys its the players so leave cull alone. he will become a hero when we beat the jinx of saints on saturday. come on the wire

Agree about Cardiff, been both years for full weekend, lets hope it's there again next year. It needs a stadium in a city centre. Disagree about Cull. If he'd been coaching em right, they wouldn't be giving away silly penalties. Hope You are right about Saturday, though I'm not sure it's a jinx. Basically, they are just better than us.
