BTW: 11 teams have competed for the Cup(Buddies and Arriva Trains then NRC) in the final in 11 years and ...........Sheffield Eagles have NEVER lost a final.

Teams which have lost: Halifax, Castleford, Whitehaven, Featherstone, Barrow, Doncaster, Hull KR, Leigh, Widnes. Winners who have never lost: Huddersfield, Batley, Salford.

5 of those teams now in Super League, and two who did not survive Super League........... that surely speaks reams...........

Hull KR, Huddersfield, Salford and Leigh played in finals prior to the 2005 season when it became the Northern Rail Cup.


So lets see if Sheffield can join the elite of never losing a final................... time will tell

As Eagleblade says "it's a joke and a fact" personally i thought 98 v wigan was a tricky one but hey ho i guess you must of thought it was easy for us

Enjoy the final
Cheers mate, you to.
Just hope it's not raining in lovely Halifax for the final !!!

If we're talking any old final, we've lost a few.

Not that I remember them, obviously.

Didnt Fev smash Sheff in the GF 40-4 a few years ago ???

I think we're just talking NRC finals.

I don't remember.
