A little sad isn't it. It sums up the mentality of the two sets of fans and the clubs themselves. We have won trebles and not bothered with a t-shirt. I guess when your expectations are low you need to celebrate what you can.

must admit it made me cringe

We were demoted once, somewhere around 1914 or something. It was decades ago anyway. And just the once. But Warrington are the only team not to have been demoted at all. It is their one claim to fame!

One of your claim to fames,is only team to lose 4 grand finals in a row.

I didn't give two hoots about the record at KR.I am not overlay fussed that we have finally beat you. Ijust see as two points lost ,two points gained.

We are not the only team actually. Wigan did it first and then Oldham and now us. So it is an exclusive club, granted, but not exclusive to us alone.

When have we lost 4 grand finals in a row? I can recall losing 3 but even that wasn't in successive years. We've only lost 3 grand finals so how can we lose 4? Unless your talking pre super league which I thought we wasn't allowed to discuss?

Could be wrong but aren't we still also the only team to win the super league 5 times?

Yes, pre-Superleague. I can't remember the exact dates but I learned about this little club when watching the Championship Grand Finals last season when Oldham lost their fourth on the bounce. It was then that it was mentioned. Wigan lost four on the bounce at some point, but it was decades ago (possibly pre-second world war but again, I can't remember), and then Oldham did it last season and then of course we did it too.

It was actually 5 we lost, 2 of them to Oldham. Rogues had just retired then
