Is it time for it to be scrapped and the trophy handed over to us on a permanent basis?

Only after all other clubs come forth and pay homage to Wigan greatness

Truth is since the grand final was introduced the cup is the red headed step child no one really likes but won’t take the hint

It's dying a death, not enough interest anymore.
To be honest I wasn't devastated that Wigan lost, which go back 20 years or more, I would have been.
I think the only chance for a decent final attendance this year, is a Hull v Hull KR final.

What were the attendences at this stage last year? I was pretty impressed with the crowd figures TBH.

Well bang goes the Hull v Hull KR final with the quarter final draw.
