Champions of the nines

Probably means ' Challenge Cup Champions '

Edited for accuracy

Exactly. They're Champions of neither.

Well Yes You Got It Right !!

Everton Ladies won the womens FA cup last year but that would make them cup winners and not champions

Be fair to Warrington. They've won a trophy and one that many on here were made up with us winning last year. I just hope that tonight is the highlight of their year

Not saying that. I wish we'd won it and tbh I think it's a good trophy to win. Just wondering where 'Champions Again' has come from.

Unless he's a Wigan fan of course

Anyone know how Ryan King went in the sprint race?

Nope but I believe he has the lowest body fat percentage at the club.

Sorry had to.

Rhys Evans is the Fastest Man Champion.

Apparently.

Jodie Broughton followed closely by BJB wasn't it?

Photo finish between those two with Broughton by a nose. Rhys Evans was third.

Desperation? Long sufferance?


Rugby League's Fastest Man 2011 on youtube. He slows up towards the end and still bogs it.

i'm confused.

so are we challenge cup winners and you are superleague winners?

See the boards:



Winners.




Champions.

ha ha thanks

what about the nines then champions or winners?

had a fiver with a mate king would win it ...

looks rapid when seen him in the u20s, not as quick as i thought then!!!!

Apparently the guy from Hull came 3rd.

I doubt there'd be much difference between Broughton and King. Perhaps half a second or so. For sprinters that's a lot but for rugby players it doesn't make much difference.

just looked up the definition of the word 'champions'

turns out us wires were right.

and were are now nines champions as well.

feels better being a champion as opposed to just a mere winner.

Yet another thread in danger of disappearing down the toilet.

You'll end up hearing more about Ben Currie I imagine. He's a cracking player, watched him through all the junior ranks at Golborne. Plays for the England youth side too.
