Answers:
1) St Helens. They have been in every finals series going back to the year 2000. Wigan are the closest, having missed out twice, in 2005 and 2006.
2) Batley. They entered for the 2002 season and have been there up to and including 2024. Halifax ran them close but their first year was 2004.
3) London Skolars. They were part of this league every year from 2003 to 2023, when they demoted themselves to a regional league. No other side comes close in terms of uninterrupted participation.
4) Wigan. 21 cup quarter final appearances. St Helens and Warrington have managed 20 each. Wigan didn't miss more than one year in succession and that consistency makes them top of this list.
