Quote: Wadski "Since I'm fairly new to RL. Huddersfield beating Leeds in the 2006 semi was a big cup shock for me. Huddersfield hasn't beaten Leeds in a thousand years and even many Leeds fans had seen it as a walkover and had bought final tickets before the game.'"


Good call.

Slightly disheartening for me that a decent chunk of upsets have Wigan on the receiving end... I hope that's just down to the fact that I (obviously) pay more attention to our games! icon_sad.gif plus I suppose it's nicer to be the favourite more often than not.

The referee's indecision is final:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3738.gif



Quote: knockersbumpMKII "Why was it a 'shock', they were obviously good enough to get to the final, we were too feckin cocky/overconfident plus a few iffy refereeing decisions but I wouldn't call it a shock to be fair.'"


it was a shock to me

Skysports.com wrote: 'There was still time for Murrell to knock over a drop-goal into the sea of delirious red and white behind the posts. The Black and Whites were already heading disconsolately home'.:



Quote: Egg Chasing "The Hull KR and Fev wins were also against sides struggling in the league which is why I'd class it as a shock but not a massive onein the same category as Salford or Sheffield beating Wigan.

Wasn't aware of the Siddal result I'll be honest. That would definitely have to go down as one.

The Challenge Cup is great I agree, but there's no denying that people don't view it as they used too and crowd sizes show that.'"


If i'm not mistaken, Warrington were 6th in the league and were in good form (unbeaten in 6, or 1 defeat in 7) when we played them, albeit we were 20 odd games unbeaten ourselves but to post 40 points against a Super League side was remarkable (aware that you're post about not calling it a shock suggests you did regard the class of 06' a very good one icon_biggrin.gif )
