Is it though? or would it be better to be looking to the future and building a squad for the next world cup rather than playing players for one series knowing they won't be available for the next? |

I've been supporting Wigan for well over twenty years. In that time we have won 9 Challenge cups. Never once have I heard us referred to as "Champions of the Challenge Cup". Same goes for every other winner throughout history. Just my opinion but it smacks of trying to big it up unneccessarily. Not sure why you would do that as fans because it's becoming laughable to fans of other clubs. Instead of seeming proud of your achievement you seem like your really envious of the League Champions.
As I say, just my opinion of course.

Didn't William Webb Ellis pick up the ball and run, someone should really tell Rugby Union.

If you were to talk to someone that had no knowledge of RL to say we were Champions of the Challenge Cup, they wouldn't know what the Challenge Cup is, although the Cup element of the name might stick in mind.
I could come up with a million examples of people referring to "Champions" in a cup competition, do i [ireally[/i need to do that?
I doubt anyone is trying to pass off as Super League champions, they're just enjoying the fact we have won a significant competion in sport, and so should you.
And again
Champions

So who do we regard as the bigger Champions....Leeds for their three Super League titles in a row, or Saints for their feat in being Challenge Cup champions three times in a row as well as minor premiership champions three times in a row.
I would say you have to give it to Saints to be double champions so often. World Class: "that's why they're champions".

Some people on here are totally full of bull we won a cup beating 2 lower league teams and 3 SL teams Leeds are Champions we won what many on here have called for years a mickey mouse cup that has all of a sudden become the best competition in the world (I think not ), using our standards wining the CC was an amazing feat using Saints and Leeds standards it was a side show to super league Leeds are true and deserving CHAMPIONS end of !We won a cup !

We're the first ones to starve, we're the first ones to die
The first ones in line for that pie-in-the-sky
And we're always the last when the cream is shared out
For the worker is working when the fat cat's about:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_12937.jpg |
