The end of year review | "Wheelie sin-bins", Tomkins' 'will he won't he?' And a flip-flop obsession!

The Bench with Jenna and Jon

Jenna and Jon are back for one more episode of the year looking back at the best bits of The Bench in 2024.

From Wigan's dominance to impressive seasons for Salford and Hull KR, there was plenty to talk about on the pitch. But as ever, there were loads of highlights off it too, including Sam Tomkins' decision to come out of retirement, Paul Lakin's flip-flop obsession, and just who exactly the Huddersfield Giants mascot is modelled on!
