Re: Same old teams in the grand final. : Sat Sep 24, 2022 7:39 pm
Since the last Saints V Leeds final, the following teams have been in a Grand Final:Saints, Leeds, Wigan, Wires, Cas, Salford, Catalan.
In addition to that, the following teams have won the LLS:
Saints, Leeds, Wires, Huddersfield, Catalan.
The following have won the Challenge Cup:
Saints, Leeds, Wigan, Wires, Hull, Catalan.
The following have contested the Challenge Cup final:
Salford, Cas, Hull KR, Huddersfield.
We've also seen Hull in the Grand Final in the past, and obviously Bradford's period of success all since the GF era started in 1998.
The last six Grand Finals have had six different runners up too!
There is absolutely no issue whatsoever with the "same old teams in the Grand Final". The issue solely lies with the same old teams WINNING the Grand Final. It's the job of the wide range of "close but no cigar" teams to find a way of changing that, and no club is more culpable of failing to do that than us.
