Why boo him, not his fault the RFL showed no ambition or ingenuity, I am pretty sure pretty much any medalist would have done it, for an appropriate fee. (either to them, or a charity) |

Brad Wiggins in a rugby fan, he would have been ideal.

Booing him will be the only time we get to tell the RFL it's the wrong decision and don't mess it up again.
You are right it's not his fault, but there are plenty of RL Fan olympians who have won Gold medals............ |

Wiggins is a League fan and Luke Campbell is an FC season pass holder.
Bit frustrating but not everyone can be pleased I guess.

Do anyone actually care who presents the trophy?

I think that should be a standing order for all royals, at any time, so I'm probably not best placed to comment. |

You can bet your bottom dollar that Pippa Middleton will be blagging a seat at the final then.

She can sit on my lap if there aren't any seats left. As long as she doesn't talk we'll both be happy. |

Ha, rugby league fans are the most hypocritical lot I know!
Every year (with the exception of the year Steve Prescott presented it) the RFL get criticised because a Royal hasn't presented the trophy. When they get a member of the Royal family to present it, they get the same reaction.
The RFL have listened, and it seems they simply cannot win.

A royal? A "ROYAL"??? Those who want a Royal to present it presumably are of that view because they think it befits the status of the occasion, and not makes a joke of it.
This is a bit like, "We can't get Beckham, but we've got his second cousin Steve". PP holds no royal title. He carries out no royal duties. WTF he is doing this for, other than perhaps to market his business, I'm fscked if I know. Utterly embarassing. |
