I wondered why Wigan were paying stupid sums of money to clubs for players... It's to get their vote in "club of the year" award.

Well deserved though for all individual winners and no complaints at all.

Tomkins MOS! He's the Ronaldo of RL ...... looks great for the cameras dancing around lower teams defences, waggling his feet and pulling faces at the crowd, then goes missing when he faces anyone decent ....... He'd make a fantastic attacking centre, but is a less than average fullback (but surely a decent coach would see that?).

As for 'Team of the Year' .....sorry ...... that'd be funny if it wasn't such an insult.

RFL/Sky keep telling us how much more important the GF is than the league, then give TotY to Wigan when, as has been pointed out, both Leeds & Warrington have reached GF. CCF, and U20's GF ...... and, according to MOS nominations each year, Leeds haven't even got any players worth nominating!!!

As for community work; there must be more days a year in Wigan, as Wire players/coaches turn up somewhere almost every day helping out causes (not just RL ones) in the town!

Can't wait for the New Years honours list when, on this basis, we'll no doubt see the announcement of Sir Shaun Wane!

Oh look!! Its a post from Mr. Bitter.

rlThis will have gone a long way towards club of the yearrl as will the camps run in Cumbria, Coventry and other areas.

It's Club of the Year you tit, not Team of the Year. And have a read about "Central Park" before you try and compare our community work to your beloved Warrington's.

Don't Wigan also have links with South Wales Scorpions and Wales RL, hence as a club are extending the boundaries of RL, as perhaps recognised by this award?

I'm as happy as anyone to take the mick out of Wigan, but I think it's hard to argue that awarding Wigan Club of the Year is some ridiculous, grievous miscarriage of justice.

The first team is obviously excellent. Their youth systems are obviously excellent. There appears to have been a push on community work including various schemes that aren't rugby related. They have had the highest attendances for a couple of years. And in the last couple of years have really pushed the marketing side.

If not Wigan, then who should have been awarded it?

To be fair, Warrington have contributed to the arts, with this masterpiece in the local community.

Club of the year seems to just go in a bit of a rotation. But its no bad thing to highlight some of the good community work our clubs are doing.

Now even I think that's funny ..... hang on, is that ST in the middle?

not happy that they have given a lifetime achievement award to a proven drugs cheat - does not send out the right message at all

Come on - stop posting stuff like that. You'll stop the bitter ranters having a go

"lifetime achievement to a proven drug cheat"

Really, care to explain with supporting evidence?

He was banned from the game for 2 years, what evidence do you need? lol
