Wigan Warriors win prestigious Team of the Year honour as success recognised
Wigan Warriors are celebrating after being crowned Team of the Year – just days before the BBC Sports Personality of The Year awards.
At a glittering event at The Sporting Club’s Annual Sports Awards Gala Dinner in London last night, Matt Peet’s men were recognised for winning all four trophies this year.

Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

We’ve actually got six we won the Locker Cup on June 1st 2024 v Warrington Wolves at the Halliwell Jones.“We had Liam Farrell and Matty Peet up on stage, we interviewed them and showed a highlights reel of them winning all four trophies. Or as I said last night, you’ve now won five trophies!
The club captain that day was Bevan French

good to see. Let's hope we get the one at SPOTY again. There is no one else who I can even think deserves consideration.

Of course it’s a proper cup. Wire won it on the toss of a coin in the first match.
Proper team photos since have shown the Locker Cup in Wigans armoury.

It looked like a cup/trophy to me when I’ve seen the captain carrying it. It also looked like a cup/trophy when I’ve seen it in the trophy cabinet.
