Those achievements have put Peet and his side in line for the BBC Sports Personality Coach of the Year and Team of the Year awards at the prestigious awards ceremony on December 17.

Wish it was us but have no problem with Wigan winning this. At the very least it will give the sport more national exposure in this country.

Also see Luke Litter is on the shortlist for young sports personality.

Yeah there is nothing more that Wigan could have won so surely a deserved Team of the Year. I just hope they have someone who can string a sentence together prepped for the presentation.

I just hope we aren't going back back the 80s, where the Monday morning RL roundup would begin every week with the words "Rugby League, and Wigan........."

I`ve heard that Shawn Wane is going to do the acceptance speech, so that won`t be an issue.

I hope they win beggar all and are beaten by a women’s flat green bowling team that only made the semis of the World Cup. Can we have more Wire Aggro behaviour please?

Luke Littler? A sports personality? Why do we have to accept that a bar room game is a "sport"? They're hardly elite athletes are they

Yeah he is too white and too straight.

Ok, Nigel.

I don't, as a matter of fact, or snooker either!

Pretty sure last year’s winner was caucasian and heterosexual.

Yeah that's what I mean, it will have to be balanced this year

He has made it into the final 6 for the main award also. Going on the betting Hodgkinson looks nailed on to win that though.

In terms of achievement I think Alex Yee should win. Olympic and World Champion 2024.

Good call but let’s be honest it’s whoever the BBC wants it to be the winner. Been watching the show for many a year not so much since Des Lynam disappeared, current presenters bore me senseless so i record it and watch the bits I want to see.

Also not convinced by the voting system, pretty sure there have been some you think yeh he/she should be the winner but they don’t even get in top 3. Load of OAP’s at home think they voting on strictly come dancing or something.

lol absolutely.
I have no idea who presents it.

Wigan got team of the year.

What an absolutely godawful show that now is….well it always was but beyond pitiful now.

Agree it was cringeworthy although RL was well represented. I might be shouted down here and I know he's young but I think 'our' Luke could've done with a bit of advice on his acceptance speech.

Stopped watching it many a year back. Coach of the year 2 people that train someone to win 1 race
Infact the whole thing is bent.

I'm just going to come out and say it, really enjoyed Wolf Hall

Me too - but that's about it for the BBC for me. I've even switched out Radio 4 for Times Radio.

I remember the days when real men like David Beckham and Jonny Wilkinson won Sports Personality of the Year and the woke lefties on here were bitching because rugby league was overlooked and it should have been Sculthorpe.
