Better to be in these games than just waiting for next season eh

Rovers are unstoppable at the moment and must be strong favourites tonight. However beating in Wigan any final is an entirely different proposition.

Don't book the City Hall just yet. Look what happened last time.

Challenge cup WINNERS
Superleague CHAMPIONS/Grand final WINNERS
league LEADERS

leading something means nothing if you don't win the big prize

The reward for finishing top is a home route to the real prize, the grand final. I think they also get £100k which is usually split between the players.

It's a good achievement but, unfortunately for the great unwashed, not a major trophy

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
