1985 since wigan lost 3 on the run at the start of a season, then looked what happened next--
Challenge cup winners
1987/88, 1988/89, 1989/90, 1990/91, 1991/92, 1992/93, 1993/94, 1994/95
Championship winners
1986/87, 1989/90, 1990/91, 1991/92, 1992/93, 1993/94, 1994/95, 1995/96.
World club championship winners
1987, 1991, 1994
Regal trophy winners
1985/86, 1986/87, 1988/89, 1989/90, 1992/93, 1994/95, 1995/96
Premership winners

Didn't win the cup in '96 then?

In that squad we had:

Ian Potter Steve Hampson Ellery Hanley Nicky Kiss Andy Goodway Shaun Edwards Graeme West Mike Ford Henderson Gill Shaun Wane Brian Case Ian Lucas Joe Lydon

We have no-one close to that standard in our current squad.

Indeed I do. Mighty privileged to have been born in 1971 therefore old enough in the Glory Days to enjoy it all like it was yesterday.
