I usually wouldn't put a club into such an article with such limited top flight exposure. That said, the amazing season that was 2023 meant I decided to throw away the unofficial rulebook I use. Looking over the scant pickings below, they were a tad unlucky in 2017 when they didn't come last in the league but were relegated anyway. A playoff system was then in place which they were unable to survive.
Adrian Lam more recently came from Wigan to coach a team struggling to get into and remain in the top flight once they got there. An all too familiar plight for clubs wanting a chance in the big time. I was one of many expecting yet another false dawn but how wrong could I be?
They were up challenging with the best in the league and then took out the Challenge Cup as well! Qualification for the playoffs was the cherry on the cake. The owner is too emotionally involved with the club's fortunes so needs a find a way to address that issue.
