The difference is Keiron Cunningham didn't win a Challenge Cup.
I've had plenty of arguments with the 'boomers' on here (ie the ones about 5 years older than me
) about the team of the 1980s and their inconsistent league form.
Ah yes, but they beat Halifax in the Premiership Final at Elland Road and that is worth a lifetime of memories, the boomers will say.
In 30 years time, the current milennials are going to be saying the same. Someone will pipe up "I've looked at the win loss record and decided Price was crap".
"Wind your neck in, son" they will be told, and then someone will tell the story of the 2019 Challenge Cup final, when we beat the mighty Saints against the odds with a legendary spell of defence on our own line.
