Quote: Dropkick Murphy "On Saturday night Warrington RLFC could win our first championship since 1955. To put that into context, I'm in my thirties and my mum wasn't even born then!
Of the 14 clubs currently in Super League, all of them have been crowned champions more recently than us with the exceptions of Castleford, Catalan and London, all of whom have never won it and two of whom are not long standing clubs. As a support we like to pretend that we're a big club, but those cold hard statistics suggest we are nothing of the sort.
This week we have seen posts on here about "The Sky Cup", negative experiences at Old Trafford last year (hardly surprising seeing as how we lost), negative comparisons to Wembley, and various other drivel. All of which in my view completely misses the point. Whether you agree with the play offs or not (I do) and whether you like the current format of them or not (I don't) is irrelevant. Surely you want your team to be crowned champions via whatever method must be followed to achieve that! Especially when the last time that happened was FIFTY EIGHT YEARS AGO!
If you don't want and crave that then either you're a pretty dispassionate spectator rather than supporter, or you just plain might as well give up. This is what needs to happen so on Saturday night - against the club most of us regard as our greatest rivals and who are indisputably the biggest in the game - lets go out there and rewrite history.
NOW THE WIRE'"
To be fair my bigoted friend, you did re-write history. The biggest lead given away in grand final history.
Hope you enjoyed your night
