Spoon Bowl

This is a Rugby League joke.  It is the game played to decide who gets the wooden spoon for the season.  The game to determine the winner obviously captures everyone’s attention, but there is, at the other end of the spectrum, a lot of anxiety about who is going to come last.  The Wooden Spooner is remembered.  The team that comes second-last gets not as much attention.  The name Spoon Bowl is modelled on the American Super Bowl.
