Knowing a few lads from the west side of Hull, believe me, that rivalry is as bitter & hostile as any. Some of us would be a bit annoyed if we got chants comparing us to Wigan.
I don't know how other people find them, but I think our relationship with Hull is pretty good. It was a bit tasty back at the Boulevard in years gone by but when they mullered us in the 2005 CC semi, we applauded their fans back to their coaches etc & they really, really appreciated that. They were taken aback at our sportsmanship.
Maybe it's a bit of a personal thing for me, but this is a respectful plea to stop it. They were given enough of a hiding last night without really taking the Michael. We need to be better than that. Win with humour & humility, not arrogance & hostility
