I want us to win every competition we enter. The GF is currently the biggest prize and I want us to win that.

There is not enough emphasis on winning the league but that's just the way it is.

Win this and the 50 years blah blah is gone.

Annoys me when people refer to Super League or the Grand Final as the "Sky Cup". For one it's not a cup, it's a title/trophy. The title of "Champions". You are not champions for winning the LLS, nor are you champions for winning the Challenge "CUP", you are champions for scoring more points than your opponents at Old Trafford in the Super League Grand Final.

POT KETTLE BLACK

Plesae feel free to rearrange and fit into a well known saying or phrase

Don't get annoyed, just re read what you have written and consider the fairness in the proposition that will see a team, hopefully ours, crowned Champions for scoring more points than an opponent in a Grand Final.

My view it would appear differs to yours, but, I won't be annoyed in the slightest if we lift the play off trophy tomorrow

How strange.

I think sky cup /trophy/shield is possibly a very apt title for the play offs considering how the whole format down to start times & playing dates are dictated by sky sports. Why, they even dictate the 27 " meaningless qualifying rounds" to the extent that people can be running round like headless chickens trying to fit work commitments in with matches because sky have intervened.

Huh? He wouldn't need to re-arrange it, that IS the saying.

I realise that and for a fleeting moment considered after I had typed it, that I might rearrange it myself but discounted that course of action on the basis that might have been unhelpful to my co correspondent

Thank you for your concern though

Some of us realise that you were just being kind to him, or then again, were you trying to confuse him?

Yeah, and being crowned champions via a playoff was around long before sky came along. Some people seem to be under the pretence that this was invented by sky, but a large portion of titles in RL's history have been decided via a playoff.

It's a tremendous occasion and gives RL another showpiece on the sporting calender. Loads of celeb fans turn up or tweet about it, it gives the game great publicity.

People who say stuff like sky cup are just deluded and clueless.

Welcome to the real world.

I don't recall hearing football fans degrading their biggest competitions in this way, their tournaments are equally affected by broadcasters.

It's finally here. Rugby League Christmas day. Come on the Wire

To be fair to Mr or Mrs Wirefanatic I knew I wasn't quite correct in my post but decided not to unravel it prior to hitting the send button for fear of additional confusion.
