Wigan were the last winners however I do believe that nobody from the RFL actually gave Wigan that trophy - that would be like Liverpool being awarded the old Football League trophy prior to the Prem League - in a sport that is run properly however that would never happen as there are over 100+ years of winners etched into history - of course if somebody can prove me wrong and that Wigan were officially given that trophy I'm happy to retract that statement.

Anyone got that pic of John Monie with the Championship trophy and Challenge Cup on the pitch at Central Park? Looked for it for years. Think it was 1991?

I have to agree with some of the Wigan posters in this thread....although I'm a Wire fan, IMO it's embarrassing to have those Latics trophies in a Wigan rugby league cabinet. Is it asking too much to let Wigan RL have their own cabinet and be able to display some illustrious rugby league history without some crappy pennants from a vastly less successful football club. It's not just the issue of sharing, its that there's a huge difference in history between the respective clubs. If it was Man United sharing with Wigan RL it would be different.

If I was Dave Whelan I'd have had Wigans RL history as the main part of the DW stadium, make it like the Nou Camp or Old Trafford where all those chinese tourists come round to have a tour and look at all the history like a museum, let Latics have a small corner of their own but market it primarily as rugby league.

I highly doubt Chinese people would come to Wigan to look at our trophies

You never know, they only got into football relatively recently, China is opening to the world, why not try and show them rugby league.

Maybe we can get some new investors into the game, Chu Sum Pi and his Korean mate Sen Trul Park to buy a controlling stake in Wigan.

I'd rather have Lindsay and Whelan back

Quite liked your joke though
