The 31st President of the Rugby Football League, appointed in December 2022 to succeed Clare Balding, Sir Lindsay Hoyle wore a Warriors tie this week at the House of Commons.

A Warrington fan, he was present at a sold-out DW Stadium on Saturday as Matt Peet’s squad claimed a 16-12 win over Penrith Panthers to lift the club’s fifth title – matching the record of NRL giants Sydney Roosters.
