I think it would help if Sky and the game in general referred to the LLS winners as the League Champions.

Have they actually given the LLS a proper name? Perhaps, they should consider naming it after a legendary player, or something similar.

100k, home semi final, the Friday night semi final, place in the wcs against the second best team in the NRL, a trophy. It has a lot riding on it now and does deserve a lot more respect than it gets.

If you do that then the Grand Final becomes irrelevant. For it to be a showpiece and generate high attendances and some media exposure it has to be the pinnacle of the season.

Agree with Charlie Sheen, it could with a name to the trophy to give it some additional meaning.
The 1895 League Trophy?
Or as you say, maybe a player? The Clive Sullivan Trophy?

The Sir Kevin Sinfield Minor Premiers.

that would meet with near-unanimous approval throughout the game

To win it you need to be consistently good all season...I think over the 19 years he has pretty much been that.

Wouldn't disagree. But I could imagine one or two dissenting buffoons coming up with alternatives such as the Jon Wilkin trophy or the Sean O'Loughlin cup.

Then why not give that option? The winners should be minor premiers, winning it the club should be able to nominate a deserving player of that accolade for the year. It is quite an incentive for a club to want to give that nomination when they win.

Personally think that is a terrible idea, but the sort of gimmick RFL love could see them going for it

Have they announced where the hub cap will be this weekend.
