Wouldn't argue with that. Im trying to recall other examples of a team getting beat but gaining total belief in itself. I've not seen many.

2004 playoff game vs Bradford

Yes. Gave me belief too. I remember sitting in the Supporters Club after that game with no doubt whatsoever that we would beat Wigan the following week and get to the GF. I can't recall ever being so confident about a game.

the RFL had no balls or Bradford would have been, rightfully, stripped of the title

I seem to recall we lost the GF to Bradford,the LL shield to saints and CC Cup to Hull. All three breaking the cap.

It's been a while tho
