On the subject of record defeats, a depleted Hull team and Wakefield Trinity takes me back to Wembley 1960 when Trinity hammered us in the CC final. It became a record winning score and margin in a final in that cup's history. Also the first try by Wakefield remains the fastest ever scored in the CC final.
I believe at least a couple or so besides me on here witnessed that disappointment.
A not so easy question. In what year was our margin of defeat beaten in the CC final?

Leeds-London in ‘99 - although if we take into account the move from 3-point to 4-point tries, you have to skip forward another 16 years to a record that might well endure even longer. I hope it does tbh - the biggest home defeat and lead surrendered in SL, i’d happily hand over, but I wouldn’t wish that on anybody. The balm for that one would be getting back and winning it or at very least losing ‘normally’ with a creditable performance.
As we’re indulging in masochism, what would be your stand-out shocking result, irrespective of margin of defeat?

Featherstone at Wembley!!!! For some reason, I thought it was 14-12 to Hull, probably copiuos amounts of beer!!! Shock horror and various expletives, when I realised it was the winning penalty by Quin and not a replay which I was convinced we’d win. That beer eh, gets you into all sorts of bother but luckily, you don’t usually remember

IIRC Wakey scoring a try was on opening credits for Saturday afternoon BBC 'Grandstand' for years! My late dad used to go barmy
