Challenge Cup 2016

Quote: Mild Rover "A part-time second tier team sitting 9th of 12 in their division. On the handful of other occasions that I can recall tier 2 teams beating SL opposition in recent years, it has always been one of the very best teams in the lower division.

I'm always reluctant to go overboard, as the next result can make you look foolish, but...

Right now I can't see how we can avoid the spoon, and all the talk of putting faith in the kids for the rest of the year makes me think there's a tacit acceptance that it's likely.

I can't see us winning many more games before the 8s, not that it makes a massive amount of material difference - but you don't want morale and confidence... well, where they are right now presumably, going into the games that do matter.

I'm gradually moving from hoping we avoid the million pound game, to hoping we make it.

And you wonder how much more appetite there is at the top for this. 6-84 obviously shook them, 0-50 was hard to swallow, but they were bracketed by slightly better form.

At least Wakefield are showing that better times can follow, if you survive an abysmal season.'"

Ten years ago, as a Championship side, you defeated Warrington in a Challenge Cup game. A highlight for you in a year which ended with promotion to Super League.

Today, the boot appears to be on the other foot. In very simplistic terms, it looks as if you've come full circle over the course of a decade. Will 2016 be the mirror image of 2006 and end with you going in the opposite direction? Surely you can't be that bad, are you?
