3 The club with the most supporters at a league game
4 The most supporters in SL game
5 The most Challenge Cups :IDEA:

6 The first team to be screened on Sky
7 The first Team to to score a try at Wembley and win
8 The first team to be screened in HD
7 The first team to win the Grand Final
8. The first club to announce a British record Signing e.g. Offiah in 1992!
9. The first team British team to win the 7s
10. The first team to play in a game in a stadium of 100,000 plus!

If anybody can add to this list i would like to look at it :READING:

Is point 10 correct? In 1954 wire played Halifax in front of 102k so technically it must have been a 100k stadium

there also must have been many many other record signings prior to Offiah. Wasn't Fairbairn sold to HKR for 72.5K, at that time a record?

Wasn’t one of our games shown in 3D a few years back? I don’t think that happened again.

Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.
