| 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.

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.

| My first Wembley was 1960 against Hull. The first time that I saw the late queen. Red hot day and the marching guardsmen in the band were fainting in the heat. Neil Fox's record points scoring Wembley. in a 38-5 win. I recall David Coleman, the BBC tv Grandstand sports programm epresenter, going around the edge of the pitch interviewing spectators and receiving a mass of verbal abuse from the crowd. I heard words I never knew existed.

| I vaguely remember my Brother going to the 68 final… and I was at every game in the 79 cup run and at the final (although I missed the first try at Oldham as we were late at the ground)

| Looking at how Salford managed to weather the Saints onslaught and hit back, with a team on paper few would give them a second look at ,and also with their talisman sitting in the stand ,I’ve a feeling leeds will go one step further and win this one .

I don’t see it quite like that.
I always thought that the Salford first 17 looked as good as most to be honest and that back line looked very good indeed.
What looked their weakness was a total lack of depth in the squad.
What seemed to happen is that the first 17 played even better than expected whilst suffering relatively few injuries. This had a knock on effect of making the fringe players raise their game to unexpected heights.
It’s not uncommon, it’s effectively what we have done over the years, most notably in 2004. Unfortunately it’s a risky strategy because just like us Salford cannot sustain the success imho.
Financially they will already be under the hammer. Any monies earned will be swallowed up by the existing squad. Tgat squad will need strengthening because they are now a known quanta and teams will suss them out far more than this year. However worse still they will need yet another season with no major injuries.
It’s not impossible that they will move forward especially if they could attract some serious money but as is the odd way with sport the second album is far harder.
We will see I suppose but we’ve been there.
