Rovers apart , I think it should be one thing that’s changed because to win the league means your the best team in the comp over the full season , we was all chatting about it at work yesterday to be fair and I dont care that rovers are in the mix for it but the league leaders/winners in my eyes should be more recognised . Maybe im old fashioned .

It hasn't been for nearly 30 years so why should it suddenly be now?

Only really between 1974 and 1995 were the top of the league team deemed Champions.

That sin bin has turned the game in Wigan's favour, not too convinced it was a sin bin as those happen plenty of times and don't get picked up but because it was on the back of a big break it stood out more

I was born early 80’s so until 95 it was the norm for me , like I say maybe I’m old fashioned

Bloody Wilkin doing my head in….when is he going to whip out a sock and knock one out

It's still not a major trophy

Willie Peters complaining about Wigan player staying down in the tackle,
Oh the irony, it did make me chuckle.
The Highlight of a sorry nights rugby.

Rovers are the biggest cheats in the comp, he's having a laugh

they dont cheat their supporters, and your right its a little shield who cares,

The problem is that, unlike the period 1974 - 97, everybody's fixture list is different in terms of who you play over the course of the year. In 2024, for instance, both rovers and Warrington had a third game against both London and ourselves where as Wigan didn't (not sure who their loop games were against).

Having the league winners being declared Champions only works with an even fixture list across the competition, i.e. the 'football' model. We would need to scrap the play-offs and go back to a pre-SL league structure in order to make the 'league winners' the correctly crowned champions and I'm not sure the clubs are in favour of that.

Kendal just now, penalises Joe Batchelor for obstructing Curry going for the ball, fair enough.

Kendal at Salford Tom Brisco slightly obstructs Salfords winger going for the ball, penalty, and sin bins Tom resulting in Hull conceding two try’s, and game over.

He’s a reet bad ref, most games end up in a brawl whilst in his control.

Salford v Catalans coming up later. No Bourouh, Cust or Abdull to watch though.

Saw Ollie Holmes in Leeds Asda though, carrying two bags of shopping like it was nothing.
