What makes this over confidence even more ludicrous is that it totally ignores history. Give us a relegation decider and we are the best. Give us a game that might bring us some glory and our record over the past forty years has been truly abysmal. I may be wrong but we have only won once, the YC and that’s our only other final appearance as well.Two CCup semis, one of which was embarrassing. That’s it, it’s not like we have a recent history of success.
Bradford do, and although they are a shadow of what they were they at least have a culture of winning these kinds of games.
As a club we need to get back into the zone and actually get a hunger back for success, even modest success in this case.
If people think we are over that clitch think again. I know the weather played a biggish part but let’s be honest the CCup game against Fev was the one we seemed least prepared for this season. I don’t think anyone can deny that they were more up for it on the day. And that is typical of the last forty years.
Still, it will change eventually, so why not on Sunday, fingers crossed.
PS: Sorry forgot the promotion in 1999

You've posted some absolute rubbish over the years but this up there with the worst. If you genuinely believe the 2008 Challenge Cup semi final will have any influence on the result this weekend then you've lost the plot!
You talk about recent history and being the best at relegation deciders, yet the most recent relegation decider we were involved in we lost! If we lose on Sunday it's because we haven't played well enough, nothing else.
