First final I won't be watching. Can't stand Leeds and Saints were really 'helped' to get to the final.

As long as Leeds lose I don't care who wins

That makes two

The only Grand Final I didn't attend was the covid one.
And for that matter the premiership finals back to at least 1980.

That's me with the Challenge Cup Final as I think it's an open event for all RL fans to enjoy.
Grand Final is just another two-club game IMHO. Only attended one, Bradford v Saints in 1998. That was to show off my Wakey shirt just after we got promotion in 1998.

I go back further for Challenge Cup.
My first was 73. I was on tv too.
Too young to remember it though.

My first challenge cup was 1968, infamous watersplash final

That's a tough start.

It was. Hence part of the reason I don't like Leeds.

Couldn't go to the Wembley final against Hull as there was nobody to take me and only being 12, but went to Odsal with a schoolmate and his dad, found a half crown piece as I was going through the turnstile, thought all me birthdays had come at once when Nelly scored that try

, till Boston put him out of the game

True but at least it's a start.

I hadn't discovered the Trin in 1979 and am too young for the sixties era, so I'm yet to know of such things.

Applegarth was right about the sixties being a long time ago, we desperately need a new history, I mean I'm 60 next year!

Me too. If it was the olympics, I would rather watch the Salford v Wigan match for bronze.
