That's because we didn't want it. There was never any money in it, before the Super League was developed. I remember talking to Alex Murphy in 1973 and he said that we are concentrating on the Challenge Cup and John Player Trophy from now on, as that was where the big winning money was.

Good atmosphere at this Wigan match.

Good try by Lewis but the love in by Wilkin is nauseating

I'm enjoying this game

Should that have been a no try? The ball put down pushed the corner flag away so surely the ball was on the line. I also thought he knee was in touch on the same frame that he put the ball down.

Corner flag does not count and from the camera behind you could see the ball was down before the knee. That yellow card is making the difference now.

Enjoyed that good half of rugby.

If that's a sin binning then I'm a monkeys uncle but I did say in another thread

Video ref for that

Hull KR look the business.

Wigan not going away though.

Oh here we go

Game ruined

Hate to say it but this would be a good GF. Changing of the guard and all that. I still think we're definitely/actuslly third best as the league currently reflects currently.

Oh and shouldn't that be a red card and 3 matches for Whitbread? SMH as the kids say.
