I'd love to see 'em win the League and Grand Final this season, after winning bugger all for 40yrs as we're regularly reminded by the darksiders. I'm still taking it one game at a time though.
Grand Final as in the strange world of Rugby League they are the ones remembered rather the ones who finished top of the league.
It's crazy, you get a trophy for finishing top then whoever wins the Final gets one too, think it was copied from the Aussies like a lot of things have been.
It shouldn't work but it does... Been some amazing play off games over the years. It was always good when the higher placed team made a club call, picked the lowest possible team to play and then lost - didn't Leeds beat St Helens in a memorable game around 2013.
I'll have to cede to your better knowledge mate, my memories not what it was anymore, for rugby or football memories.
Fair play to the Saints fans - losing 36 6 and most have stayed and still 8 mins left- if it was City getting tonked it would be an exodus
They realised it would bring more money in, that's why they copied the Aussies with it. I should imagine it would be the same outcome if the PL took it up too.
I'm glad Rovers are doing it for the travelling fans, they do usually travel in numbers, although I don't know the numbers today.
Yes, but ifMan City finished 30 points in front of someone lower down then lost a one off who should be remembered?
I would say about 1,500, maybe 1,800 or so though the usual hyperbolic commentary keeps referring to thousands,
I agree but it'd be Man Citeh, they can't help themselves. Just got harder now for Saints, player red carded.
