No team has won the grand final and the challenge cup since the cup was moved to August. The stains will try and say they have done this double but they played the cup match in May. Without lockers and a team that's not interested in getting to the final I get the feeling our season is going to continue with the poor form we can't seam to play through. I can't tell you how much I hope I am wrong.

But nobody has done it in the current 8 team format.
When Saints did it in 2006 they had a week off in the first round and then another week off before the final.

Wasn't that also another "salary cap cheating year" for Saints?

Now now, I get abuse on here for derailing threads. Stick to the topic old man.

In the OP there was no mention of which playoff format was in use.

Maybe he /she didn't realise, so the point was valid as the systems are different. And am I correct about the salary cap breach that year?

The point he/she made was regards to the timing of the cup final.

Stick to the topic, I've been threatened with a ban for less.

No you haven't and we're not on the lookout for a new mod thanks.

You should be on the "Can't win fook all" thread

Touché.

And I've done what to deserve this latest round of abuse?

If a fellow Wigan fan had pointed out the error in the OP, would he/she be treated like this?

So was it a different system and in 2006 did Saints do the double whilst breaching the salary cap?

Yes it was a different system, but that isn't what the OP was referring to.

The salary cap has absolutely nothing to do with this thread as it had no bearing on what happened on the field.

You must be very bored to keep trying to get a rise out of me on this issue; you won't succeed.

Answer the question, did Saints breach the salary cap in that season, and why you're doing that you may as well tell us if was it a level salary cap that season?

Surely it's relevant as that's the last time the double was achieved.
And we know we won't get an answer, and the reasons why.

The reason I'm not going to answer you is that several people, including a mod, has had a go about me supposedly derailing threads, or at least contributing to the derailing of a thread. I won't allow you to coax me into doing it again.

If you can't stick to the subject of a thread, don't post. I won't reply to another one of your posts that isn't related to the subject in question.

So no team has won the GF and CC in the same season under a top 8 playoff format. And the last team to do it breached the salary cap as well.
