Is one trophy in 7 years (jammy thanks to Ben Flower) a winning mentality?

The one that mattered, the one that Wire have never won. Mind you, if flower had been on Wigan would have won with 30pts, or so says the Ape.

Bless you! Simple Simon. 3 cc and a league leaders trophy in those near baron 7 years.

Can someone remind me - do Saints, Bradford & Leeds count challenge cup wins on their shirt collars or titles?

I should have said from 2009 onwards (got carried away with years) when we won our first of 3 challenge cups.

So we're down to a baron 5 years as opposed to Warrington's baron 50 years. And in those baron years we were in the grand final twice (not including last year).

So let's conveniently ignore the years Wire won anything since 2009 and how big is your baron spell ( Hint - answer above)

Who is Baron 7 ? Some kind of Lord of the Manor perhaps

Re: Adam Swift to the Bulldogs. : Fri Jul 17, 2015 11:44 pm  

If we're spanning 50 years back, then we may as well go back to the start of rugby league where you only won one trophy up until the 50s; the same time we were involved in the most famous rl game in front of a world record crowd.

I agree that we've been fairly crap in the sl era but that is history, like one trophy during the first half of the club's existence (ie Saints).

A club's successful record over the past 3/4/5 years has more of a relevance and feel good factor than one where the fans constantly have to bring up the distant past in order to support a point of view.

'Who is Baron 7 ? Some kind of Lord of the Manor perhaps' - is that supposed to be funny? You've even placed one of those 'patronising smilies' at the end of it. Now that's funny!
