I think Sky are sending a message. "Do you remember when this sport was exciting and people all over the country were genuinely interested in it."

I think the key point we should be taking away from this is Robbie Paul’s dress sense. He wears some shockers.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVxPfFcAh2E It's a good watch. Great to see footage of that away win at the death at Wigan. We were a different club playing a different sport back then.

It was nice to see Robbie, Leon and Peacock all sat in the changing room together. Still to this cannot understand how we made Peacock captain then instead of giving him money, we buy Harris. Nice to hear Peacock’s take on that too.

I hope we get an insight to Lynch’s exclusion after playing all year when Morley came. That will be an interesting last episode.

I wish I hadn't watched that. I feel sick.

Harris came in during the 2004 season. Peacock wasnt made captain until the beginning of the 2005 season

Think the money for Harris came from Carlsberg/Tetley as part of his sponsorship and wouldn't be available for any other player (i.e. Peacock) but my memory is hazy. Either way Caisley managed to pee off Peacock which was a very very bad move. You can't replace champion players just like that.

Andy Lynch must've been gutted. We didn't need Morley that season either.

Fair point. I’d forgotton that, I’ll claim recency bias as I just watched the programme this morning. Either way, apparently the money was there for Peacock and the club lied to him. I think, if you keep Peacock, you keep a few players as well. Sad to see. Either way, what a season.

Didn’t we need Morley? A decision was made and we won the Grand Final. It seems like it worked?

I know it’s harsh but even though I feel sorry for Lynch. Morley did the job he was asked to do, and we won the GF.

Part 2 was interesting. Makes sense when you think back to the teams form that year. The saints thumping at home and then Pryce having to go over there the day after ha ha ha.
