23 - 20 - 4
Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10174.png |

It was a high ranking RAF official, can't remember the bloke's name though. |

We booed Tony Blair, but that was in the lead up to the invasion of Iraq.
In the current climate, a cup sponsored by Carnegie shold have been able to persuade somebody who uses their facilities. Jessica Ennis springs to mind.
I would love to see Tawera Nikau present it sometime. |

In August 2012, it was announced that he would be the Guest of Honour at the 2012 rugby league Challenge Cup Final between Warrington Wolves and Leeds Rhinos at Wembley on 24th August 2012, where one fan said he was going to jeer him because he wasn't Bradley Wiggins

| Quote: Peckerwood "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.'"
This is true: I knew a bloke who was going out with the ex-partner of Kate Middleton's mum's brother ( I think. Something like that anyway.)
So why didn't I get asked to present it? Its a disgraceful oversight.
Seriously though, what an embarassement. "Rugby League, the Peter Phillips of British sport " |

| Quote: craigizzard "Mo Farah, a bigtime Arsenal fan, was supposed to have been presented on the pitch at the Emirates before the first game of the season. The appearance was cancelled because of a "sponsorship clash".
The RFL would have to be complete idiots not to have approached Wiggins and Ennis. It's out of their hands as to whether they could do it.'"
Hmm..."the RFL would have to be complete idiots..."
Nah, these are the same people who claimed the Stobart deal was worth millions. You need a stronger word than "complete", or at least another word in there. |
