Quote: Chief Stinkwort "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 an actual fan on the whole i enjoyed the season but if you gave me both scenarios it would be Leeds every time.

No you can't.

Leeds won one of the two important trophies, and also got to the final of the other, they get my vote.

Quote: Dougy "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?!'"



but the rules are there for all to see the winners of the grand final are the champions,there not my rules they are the rules of the rfl,so teams will train to be stronger at the end of a season.

you can make your point all you like but thats that,has for why do you buy a season ticket its because i support my team "cas" who dont have much sucsess but all the same i still enjoy watching them most of the time,if we all supported the supposed teams that can win then the game would be in an even sorrier state than it already is.

for what its worth warrington had a good season but ultimatly failed in what they sat out to do which was to win the grand final and given the players that they had at there disposal which through out the season they showed to be the strongest side but when it came to knock out football they lost.

True, but I'd go further.

Warrington were blessed with very few major injury concerns (as Leeds were during the 'three-in-a-row' years.
Who's to say that Leeds would not have competed better throughout last season if they hadn't played without arguably their best back(McGuire) and their strongest forward(Peacock) for much of it. Leeds also played much of the season without recognised props or half-backs or centres.
I for one, believe it's no accident that McGuire and Peacock's return to the team (along with many other injured first-teamers) coincided with Leeds' return to champion form.
Factor in a new coaching team, virtually no pre-season and new playing systems, and Leeds' poor early season form takes on a wholly different and much brighter perspective.

We had plenty of 'key' injuries through the season but we had a good squad depth and were fortunate enough to not have players with very long recovery time injuries.

Name our key players and they all had a spell on the treatment table.

Yes, but not all at once and like you said not long recovery times, which is why I specified major injury concerns. There was no point in the season where you could say you had an injury crisis in the same way as Leeds (and indeed Saints) could for a very large chunk of it.

Ask any Warrington player who happened to have been watching Sky Sports at around 7.30pm on Saturday Oct 8, 2011 who had the better season and I think you may get the correct answer

As a KR fan I would have been happy to have the season the Wolves or Leeds had (as would most other teams fans) but if I had to choose then Leeds for me. They won the competition & a cup final apearance wolves did not end of story for me.

Where was the Wigan option by the way?

Didn't they win something at Wembley this year?

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

It may come as a surprise to you and your brethren but not everything in Rugby League revolves around Wigan.

They won a trophy this year so I'm querying why they weren't included in the poll. At no point did I state that everything revolves around Wigan.
