Will take a mighty effort from any club to get close to what we achieved in 2006. Not just to win every competition we entered as stated but didn't we only lose 4 games that entire season, with margins of 1, 2, 3, and 4 points?

correct - and we almost won one of those games with our reserve team in France the week before the Cup Final.

That was a side that made Ade Gardner and international. For that reason alone it is the best British Rugby Leage side EVER.

Oh, and it winning Coach of the Year and BBC Team of the Year.

IIRC, Fozzard and Anderson missed out on both cup finals that season, so that highlights the quality and depth we had in the squad.

I'm sure Vinnie featured at Twickers.

Just checked the Heritage site and according to that he didn't. Tried to post the link but it kept coming up with the 2004 Challenge Cup Final for some reason.

I should have put P Anderson, but yes Vinnie and Foz struggled to make our full strength team.

Wigan's team is better. They have Pat Richards. He invented god, whupped Olympus' ass, created earth and then signed for the immortal Wigan side to complete their unbeatable and completely unstoppable team that romped to success last season, defeating every team they played by at least 100 points.
