Warrington had the better season as a whole, Leeds just finished better. You only have to look at league positions before the play-offs started to realise who had the better season. Leeds's season was more successful in terms of silverware, but Warrington won more games overall. Warrington won 22 league games out of 27 compared to Leeds's 15.

Ask both sets of fans if they'd swap games won for trophies earned, and you have your answer.

Warrington's season came down to 2 games essentially, and they lost them both despite playing some scintillating stuff in the weekly rounds.

Warrington - Brilliant season, poor finish
Leeds - Mediocre season - brilliant finish

Why choose? It depends on whether your definition of 'better season' hinges on consistent performance in the league or getting to/winning finals.

For me, the 'champion' end to the season more than compensates for some of the poorer stuff we had to suffer in the earlier rounds, whilst Wire fans, I suspect can be consoled by the fact that they played the best rugby for most of the year.

As a fan i'd rather have Warrington's season.
I know Leeds won the GF but with 3 games to go the Leeds fans were booing them!

I buy a season ticket to see my team win the league, not the Grand Final.

At the start of the season who's goals are to win the league leaders shield and fizzle out in the finals?

I don't know why people bother with this every season.

Leeds Rhinos super league champions 2011.

Warrington.

Its pointless winning the Grand Final and calling yourself Champions if you've not finished top of the league. Its like a hollow victory and open to everyone saying it was luck.

You can fluke winning a Grand Final, but you can't fluke finishing top of the league.

its not how you start its how you finish and leeds finished the season very strong,a bit of a no brainer for me has to be leeds.

20 years down the line it will say leeds won super league it wont say warrington had a belting season but couldnt produce when it mattered.

every game should matter, not just the last 4. If the rest don't matter then why do you buy a season ticket? surely they are only equivalent to friendlies if they don't matter?

the fact we have this debate proves its all wrong - if top of the league were champions we wouldn't be saying Leeds have had a better season cos they've won the Premiership trophy!

Did Birmingham City have a better season than Arsenal last season cos they won 5 knockout games to win the League Cup?!

Leeds reached both finals and won the big one, very unlucky not to win the other too.

They had the best and most successful 2011 season of all british RL clubs.

Let all the doubters keep doubting and those who believe keep believing. We’re only interested in those in the bubble. Anyone who wants to come in the bubble, you can come in. But you’ve got to keep believing.:86.jpg



Quote: Wellsy "you can't fluke finishing top of the league.'"
You can if all the other contenders are focussed on performing at their best in the play offs rather than the qualifying rounds.

Claiming Wire had a better season than Leeds when Leeds achieved what everyone else wanted to is crazy.
