Well done and congratulations on winning the league.
Impressive throughout the season and well deserved.
My prediction at the start of the season you would win the CC, LLS and GF is coming to fruition.
Whoever you play in the final should make for a good game.

Fair enough, I thought you meant across the game

The problem I have with this is that there SHOULDN'T be a desperation to see a new name on the trophy. This is the age-old problem with the British RL commentariat. They don't seem to realise that their job is to report what's happening in front of them, not sulk if a club they don't like wins a trophy or if a club they do like doesn't. Even getting upset because "it's not good for the game if one team wins everything" is an abrogation of their duty to impartial journalism - but it also encourages a widespread belief that one club soaring above the others is somehow unworthy of praise.

At present, Wigan's potential completion of the Grand Slam is by far the biggest story in the British game, but you wouldn't have known it from last night's coverage. Talk about subdued. Do they want great teams to shine and show the way, or is everyone playing at the same okay-to-average level a price worth paying so long as different names appear in silver?

I'd just enjoy it mate. When you get to a point when the media and fans are desperately hoping another team wins and start to sulk when it doesn't happen, you know your club is doing well.

Won't Wigan be the first club to win a Grand Slam twice if it comes off? Only done 4 times previously, Hunslet, Huddersfield, Swinton and us in 1995.

I get that, but it can be damaging ... even if only because it doesn't showcase the best of us to the rest of the world. I remember having a conversation with a rival club-supporting friend back around 1993, and he quite seriously told me that we in Wigan had no clue "what damage" we were doing to the game overall. He said something like "it's all very well celebrating another Cup win in which the opposition had no chance, but the rest of us are just demoralised and depressed that the game we love has been taken away from us."

He seemed to have no conception that the onus was on the also-rans to up their game. It's an age-old frustration I have with our sport. But then, we haven't won the Grand Slam yet, so I shouldn't get ahead of myself.

Its the tall poppy syndrome any one who rises above needs to be cut down asap.
Wigan are the most entertaining club at the min,we have it on the pitch just right but even more off the pitch.
It's an absolute joy to watch Wigan,enjoy it as much as you can it does'nt last forever.
We was also laughing at the Salford fans one minute "are you watching HKR " next "Salford Reds are rising" and "your support is f*cking sh*t " to the 15,000 from the 300 ,brilliant just brilliant.

What do you call the Grand Slam?

In the Super League era, winning all 4 trophies in the same year, WCC, Challenge Cup, League Leaders and Super League.

Don't believe it's been done before. Saints won a treble in 2006 and the WCC the following year in 2007. Bradford won the WCC in 2006.

Same for Bradford who won a treble in 2003 but didn't win the WCC that year.

I think that Wigan are the only team to win all four trophies in a season. That happened in 1991/92 and 1993/94. Nobody has done it in the SL era.
