Second in 50 years, first time since 1977. It certainly shocked me!

It was - mainly because the club wanted the last game at Central Park (tenth anniversary of leaving coming soon - jeez wheres it gone) to be a derby against St Helens. In hindsight it was a terrible decision because the JJB at the time was unfinished (east stand was closed) and as those with new stadiums will know you don't settle into them for a good while.

As far as shocks go last night has to be there as a Bulls fans. We were expected to get such a beating. 13th beating 1st away has to be a huge shock.

Err... 2005, getting beat by Wakey and Widnes were big shocks, and it took 3 tries in 10 mins to beat Wigan away.

Kiss me where the sun don't shine
The past was yours
But the future's mine
You're all out of time.

Obviously us Saints fans knew we had a team capable of winning the game, but pretty much everyone else thought we had no chance, therefore the odds were stacked against us. Saints won the final 8-6.

Well if that's up there then so is last year's Grand Final. St Helens on their unbeaten run, including playing Leeds off the pitch 2 weeks earlier. Then going on to say how they weren't going to be cocky like the year before but clearly they were and we won. Awesome.

Halifax beating London the year in the first game of the season, considering how the Halifax's season went from there. Getting relegated with 0 points due to having 2 points docked for salery cap problems.
