A question we didn't answer, but did talk about those, correct decisions, and much more, as eight became four in those, and the 1895 Cup (although we already knew them) as well as how we can stop those, on the field and off it, who abuse officials, worrying about Warrington (although they're second) and celebrating those honour...
