Quote Smurf="Smurf"It is pointless. Ask Warrington fans last year what the point was.
Anyone who pretends to care about a trophy that some teams don't even take seriously (ie resting players) are kidding themselves.'"
Another who seems to think that Rugby League only began with Super League. Are we now going to wipe out over 100 years of League Championship titles because Sky Sports weren't around to say that they counted?
I just don't understand where this idea has come from that this title doesn't count because 'not everyone takes it seriously'? If some teams don't take it seriously, that's their problem, not the league leaders.
Back in the pre-SL days, if someone said that the Champions weren't Champions because opposition at the lower end of the table packed in before the season ended, they'd have been rightly laughed out of the pub.
The LLS is still the hardest trophy to win (that Wigan won it this year with only one game remaning, and almost didn't manage that, surely proves this). The only reason some people don't accept the LLS as a major achievement is because Sky deliberately try to play it down for fear it will overshadow 'their trophy'. Are we all such sheep that we fail to recognise what's right in front of our noses because the likes of Wiggy and Slaphead say we shouldn't?
