Martin Offiah Cup Final Guest of Honour : Wed May 22, 2024 1:51 pm  

Martin Offiah Cup Final Guest of Honour The RFL and Rugby League Commercial have confirmed that Martin Offiah MBE has accepted an invitation to be Chief Guest at the 2024 Betfred Challenge Cup Finals Day – 30 years since he scored probably the most celebrated try in the long history of Rugby League being played at Wembley Stadium. Offiah played in four consecutive Wembley Finals for Wigan from 1992-95, in which he scored a total of four tries - including the length of the field spectacular against Leeds in 1994, when he was awarded the Lance Todd Trophy as player of the match. That try earned him a place on the Rugby League Statue alongside four other greats of the sport which was installed at Wembley in 2015, captured in the celebration of his try which has become equally famous, on his knees with his head in his hands in an instant reflection of the moment.

I like Offiah, wish he had come to Leeds when we had the chance to sign him.
But is this the best The RFL can get ?
No royals politicians etc.
It sadly shows the state of the game in this country

I'd sooner see RL royalty than a politician or one of the actual royals. It would be a useful exercise for the RFL to give final tickets to some influential celebs. There are plenty out there that like RL.
