Would be absolutely amazing to get him on a new deal.
Said to my dad after the game when he was being interviewed (Holbrook, not my dad), that look at the comparison between Cunningham and Holbrook in terms of team, style and play.
Just do it. Best guy we've had in years.
The league leaders shield was only brought in because Bradford finished top twice and won nothing. All the johnny come lately fans whinged enough for the Yorkshire mafia to come up with the hubcap.
It's never been taken seriously as a result

You are correct about Bradfords involvement here, but I'm not sure where you're getting the 'johnny come lately fan' idea from. Many pre-SL fans wanted to retain some sort of trophy for finishing top of the league before play-offs (which, as you know, used to be played for a separate, less valued, trophy).
I guess it's just an age thing?
The SL grand final did not replace the premiership
The premiership was dropped as was regal trophy and Lancashire and Yorkshire cups
The league was also dropped, going purely to a grand final play off system
After a few years the pressure to reward the league leaders with something came from many and as such was introduced
There were to many cups, diluted the games to much. The league meant many teams had nothing to play for in the second half of the season, the play off with one down keeps many teams interested and the pay master happy
Again I ask the question of everyone , if this isn't a suitable system what is? Where is this mythical system that keeps every team alive and interested all year?
The structure of pre-SL in the decade before was more or less what we have now. It was just that the prize for finishing top of the domestic league, and the prize for winning the end of season play-offs has been flipped in importance. We all know why SKY wanted to do this, and I take your point about there once being too many trophies.
To answer your question, I'm fairly happy with things as they are now. I value the LLS, but I can see the greater importance of winning the GF. It just saddens me when folks see the LLS as 'nothing'.
For what it's worth...For each game, I strip things back to the basic object of the sport. To beat the other team! In this way, NO games are meaningless and trophies are a bonus.
