Ha, rugby league fans are the most hypocritical lot I know!
Every year (with the exception of the year Steve Prescott presented it) the RFL get criticised because a Royal hasn't presented the trophy. When they get a member of the Royal family to present it, they get the same reaction.
The RFL have listened, and it seems they simply cannot win.
A royal? A "ROYAL"??? Those who want a Royal to present it presumably are of that view because they think it befits the status of the occasion, and not makes a joke of it.
This is a bit like, "We can't get Beckham, but we've got his second cousin Steve". PP holds no royal title. He carries out no royal duties. WTF he is doing this for, other than perhaps to market his business, I'm fscked if I know. Utterly embarassing.
