Quote: sally cinnamon "Well obviously it didn't buy Price much credit with the fans because I remember within weeks of that Challenge Cup final win everyone on here was slagging him off for dull rugby and failing in the playoffs after that long losing streak in the second half of the season.
I'm not a massive Price fan but I think his, and the team's achievement in winning the Challenge Cup has been understated. It is the only time I can remember us going up against a team that was clearly superior to us in a final and winning, it was a masterclass of negating a top team's strengths.'"
Comparisons don't always hold up, but that's why I think the United comparison is a fair one.
It's reasonable, given our situation and resources, to expect a team that plays coherent, decent rugby and a coach that actually improves players rather than them treading water or going backwards in some cases.
