RUGBY: "We want to be like the Wigan of old"; Huddersfield rugby team says

Huddersfield have their sights on upsetting Super League's established order

Huddersfield prides itself as the birthplace of rugby league, although you have to go back more than a century to find a time when the town’s team were the leading force in the sport.

Indeed, not since the 1914-15 season when 'The Prince of the Centres' Harold Wagstaff and free-scoring three-quarter Albert Rosenfeld inspired the Fartowners to become only the second team to win all four trophies - league championship, county league, Challenge Cup and County Cup - available at the time has that been the case.

The last of seven league title triumphs was in 1962, the most recent of six Challenge Cup wins nine years prior, and the only top-level prize of the summer era so far came in the form of Huddersfield Giants clinching the League Leaders' Shield in 2013.

"We want to become like the Wigan of old or the new St Helens who are consistently competing for trophies," Watson said.

Everything is set up with the club to do that and then that will filter through. Then you start getting the better level of younger kids coming through and then you can sustain what you're trying to build.

"At the moment, we're still building. We're having a great year...but next year we should be better, and we need to be better again then."
