Darryl Powell has done the best job of anyone in any league in SL history, some of the clueless comments on here actually make me laugh.... in 2013 we had 3500 season ticket holders and the last days of Ian millward we actually got attendances of less than what our season tickets were and the whole playing staff were a joke. 2 weeks later DP came in and since then we have lost out on a LLS on the last day of the season, won the LLS, got to wembley and a GF and been a regular in the play offs..... warrington have been trying to crack the grand final for the best part of 2 dacades without success. What DP is trying to achieve at Cas is not hanging on one game.... it’s a long term project that might take a decade, however the club is as strong as ever and we are trying to get to the next level. All this is down to DP.... no other coach in SL history can claim to have done what DP has with similar resources.

Massive well done to Wigan, that was a defensive masterclass and they deserve a spot in the gf.

23 - 20 - 4 Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10174.png



Quote: nottinghamtiger "Goes to show how opinions can vary!
I don’t remember seeing Mata’utia make a mistake since he joined. No dropped balls and no missed tackles. In fact, he’s stopped a fair few trees that looked nailed on. He’s got strength, good footwork and a turn of pace when he brings the ball away from the line.
He’s not been with us long so it’s been hard to fit into the attacking structure and to clear that the combinations aren’t always bang on attacking the opposition’s line. But with a full preseason, if he improves this I think he can be every bit as good as Hardaker.
If I had to have an outside bet for next year’s MoS, he’d be it.'"


Mata’utia got turned inside out by Ben Flower last night.

Quote: christopher "Cas are a show pony side, last years grand final showed that and tonight backed it up, basically they cannot cope when it matters and I don’t think they have the players to get to the next level, and this may be controversial but I don’t think Powell is all that as a coach, he doesn’t seem able to get the team up for it when it actually matters, has he ever coached a team to win anything?'"


I don't think the problem is necessarily with bottle as Cas always concede a fair amount. I recon the problem is that Cas' attacking style is far too predictable and overly structured, they tend to do the same things (very well) over and over. So, when a team is fully defending for their lives and keeping their concentration, they can be held to very few points. Look at last years GF, Leeds completely shut down all their regular plays and Cas resorted to low percentage plays to try break us down, the same happened last night. Wigan had the same problem for a while )and possibly still have it) but they have always compensated with their defence.

The Rugby LEAGUE title has only been given to the league leaders for 25 years in the sports 100+ year history

Rugby League has crowned its Champions in a Grand Final and not on winning a league table, 74, soon to be 75 times in its history.
