    What happens when predictive texting takes over. Caps lock among the broken items on your keyboard?

    Which means going along with the mantra rugby league is a family sport with no trouble unlike that horrible football. So it will be quietly overlooked, no weeks of teams of coppers poring over videos like they would if a City fan was waving his arms about or something equally heinous,

    You will be pleased to read this about Rovers fans taken from the Daily Mail’s Rugby Union section.

    Union could learn a thing or two

    This column’s focus on rugby union was punctuated by a detour into league territory on Saturday, with a trip to Old Trafford to watch the Super League Grand Final, where Wigan beat Hull Kingston Rovers. One notable aspect compared to what occurs in the 15-a-side code was the interactive nature of video reviews, when tries were scored.

    This happened several times and the outcome was displayed on big screens, with the posts lighting up green or red, to signify the decision. In an era when there is such desire to maximise audience engagement, it is a good, striking system. Another highlight of the occasion was the raucous support of the Hull fans, willing their team to upset the favourites.

    They filled one end of the giant stadium and, all together, made a thunderous noise. At a time when Premiership officials are considering the introduction of away sections in grounds, this was a good advert for concentrating rival groups, to oppose each other. It is not segregation, which isn’t necessary; it is about creating tribal fervour. However, union crowds are rarely as loud and passionate as the league hordes were in Manchester.

    Rovers fans have been noted for it the last few seasons.

    "Hull fans" :emoticon-0145-shake Do the southern media just call every Hull club "Hull"?

    They were fans from Hull supporting a team from Hull. How do you expect him to describe them?
