Superleague XI Thread
Here it is folks. What you've all been waiting for.
First, as I'm bored, time for a little history lesson. In 1996, the European Super League was introduced by Rupert Murdoch and Sky television. The first winners of the Super League were St Helens. After 1997, Paris St. Germain folded and the name was changed from "European Super League" to "Super League (Europe)". In 1998, the showpiece occassion was introduced - the playoffs and Super League Grand Final. For the first two seasons, the top two had played off in the old Premiership final, although even if they lost, the team that finished top were still the league champions.
CW Crusaders will be the 20th team to play in the competition, after Bradford Bulls, Castleford Tigers, Halifax Blue Sox, Leeds Rhinos, London Broncos, Oldham Bears, Paris St. Germain, St Helens, Sheffield Eagles, Warrington Wolves, Wigan Warriors, Workington, Salford City Reds, Huddersfield Giants, Hull FC, Gateshead Thunder, Wakefield Wildcats, Widnes Vikings and Leigh Centurions.
League Winners:
Super League I: St Helens*
II: Bradford Bulls*
III:Wigan Warriors
IV: St Helens
V: St Helens
VI:Bradford Bulls
VII: St Helens
VIII: Bradford Bulls
IX: Leeds Rhinos
