We won the Championship that year too, equivalent to current Grand Final.. It should have been the double.
It was obviously a big hit on the club as it wasn't until 75 that we made any impact on the league/cup. We were favourites to play Leeds at Wembley but we both lost in the semi. We lost to Hull KR in the Yorkshire Cup Final that year too.
We of course flirted with Wembley again in 79 but it has been a distant target since then. The semis against Hull and Warrington were a step too far for us really.
It would be nice to be making a good tilt at it again.
For me though the big prize is the league. And actually though not as popular with some, the league leaders trophy.
We have won challenge cups and League championships in our glory days but we have never won the league.
We've had some peaks getting to 4th in 81 (only 3 points behind Bradford at the top, and the 4th place with Kears team but they have been peaks with a valley straight after.
I'd love to see us steadily progress with this team and have a season that keeps us up in the top 4 and then on to a league leaders shield one day.
