Whilst a nice touch it reeks a bit to me too.

Getting shunted to Thursday for TV which no fan wants so they wheel out a special man of the match award. Come on, way too obvious.

The game is a dead duck anyway. Both teams are through. Leigh are rightly very happy, Leeds are just happy the season is over. I'm not saying players won't be trying but there is little to play for beyond professional pride.

Just trying to drag some extra punters in.

Bev will present the trophy to the winning captain on the pitch after the game. It is the intention for the clubs to compete annually for the trophy, the winner being determined by the aggregate scores of the respective league games in seasons when the two clubs are in the same league.#

how many times will Leeds play Leigh next year?

Three in the league.

They have qualified to play in Super League haven't they?

Re: Bev Risman Trophy : Sat Sep 17, 2016 11:57 pm  

It will depend on middle/super 8's positions for both teams, and potentially magic weekend. At least twice then.

Magic weekend- that could be a more inviting fixture for Leeds next year.

No. It's twice and maybe a third time if both Leigh and Leeds are in the same 8's group.

I assume it only counts for league and not cup games.

Re: Bev Risman Trophy : Sun Sep 18, 2016 11:18 am  

I wonder if and when Bradford get back in SL there will be a JP trophy ? or maybe a Iestyn Harris trohy to add a bit of spice

Of course it isn't, it's just Gotcha finding another way to say Leeds are cr@p and will be playing in the Middle 8's alongside Leigh next year.

Even if we found ourselves playing Leigh in the cup or again in the 8's, the trophy is only decided on the two original league games, just like the Adam Watane trophy between Wakey and Cas and the Steve Prescott trophy between Hull and Saints.
