Wigan have won 70 Trophies
St Helens have won 44
Leeds have won 41
and
Bradford have won 34

Rather than chasing the much more successful Wigan you'd be better served trying to hang onto 2nd.


Leeds catch Saints ? Even during your most successful period of the last 2 years your sole extra trophy is one WCC and we aren't even counting the hubcap which a piece of silverware you still get regardless of meaning little.

Once normal service is resumed, 26 trophies can be knocked off in 15/20 years.

Do you want me to add the 'hubcaps' to Wigan's lead over St Helens then?

I assumed you wouldn't like that.

Hardly as we're talking trophies won over the game's history here rather than the last 13 seasons worth.

Has there been a Play Off system before ? I would assume that the Championships that Wigan have won are their 'hubcaps' ?

Should I be surprised a Saints fan doesn't know the history of the game?

I can't recall a Play Off system earlier, certainly not my lifetime anyhow.

Interesting either way.

The first past the post system of deciding the league champions was but a brief interlude in the history of RL, lasting approximately 25 years in the late 20th century.

They have such an inferiorty complex that when you talk about anything rugby related, wether it be attendences, history, players wives, anything, they always mention how they are back to back champions.

I remember all those years ago, when we did it, you know, when Leeds were messing around in mid table, our fans didnt keep on mentioning it.

I used to think WIgans fans had the biggest inferiority complex. They dont, Leeds fans do by a hell of a long way.


Is that like deja vu!? :?

You've done well lad. I never thought it possible you could make yourself look more stupid than you usually do but good for you.

Has there been a playoff system before?

:lol:






Quote:Every player in our squad could probably earn more money with another club. But they prefer to sacrifice a few extra quid in their back pocket to share special memories. And playing at a place like Old Trafford on a night like this makes it all worthwhile.
