| Quote Tigerade="Tigerade"It makes you wonder what Wakey fans would do if they were to finish top on the league one day. We (Tigers) have set an example that the so-called smaller and less fashionable clubs can actually win something as well as the teams like Wigan, Leeds, and Saints.
Your views are miles apart from your chairman Mick Carter who I had the pleasure of talking to after last Thursdays game. He was celebrating our win like he was one of our own.
Pull us down to your hearts content - it makes us stronger.'"
Purely hypothetical, most of us will be dead before that happens - so you're well up on us there 
PS: How exactly would you expect MC to behave exactly? |

When did I not praise Cas for their achievement?
The issue is whether the GF or the LLSis more important.
If anyone can find me a quote pre season where DP states he's after the LLS. Rather than finishing as high in the 8 to assure a good play off place like every other coach then I'll let him off his slightly daft comment. |

I'd like someone to show me where Powell has stated the LLS is more important than the GF. He has said it is a great achievement and an historic one but he also said "we will celebrate this" (why wouldn't you ?) and followed that up by saying "we will move on to the next target".

| Quote M62 J30 TRINITY="M62 J30 TRINITY"Set an example? Huddersfield won it the other year but everybody forgets LLS winners because people regard it meaningless unless you win the grand final aswell. If Wakefield finished top of the league I'd be ecstatic and cas fans would be saying it means nothing, that's just how it is.
[size=150Wakefield Trinity have been champions twice[/size, cas have been the best team this season so far, win the grand final and you'll be deserved champions and have a star on your shirt next season.
Up the Trin'"
You've just answered your own question. Wakey and Hudds have both won it - We (Tigers) haven't up 'till now. |

Got to say I was a bit surprised you were "name dropped" in relation to this particular point & don't think the cap fits on this particular occasion. Whilst it's no secret you don't like Cas (totally understandable as we're local rivals) I think, generally speaking, you've been pretty gracious about our LLS achievement, I'm not sure others would have been so. |

We were champions because we won the equivalent of the grand final winning the league didn't class you as champions even back then.

Bearing in mind I didn't say anything about Tigers been "champions" - are you now you are claiming that Wakey (and Hudds) have never finished top of the table ? |

Wakefield Trinity have only finished top of the League table once IIRC - in 1944. |

Whilst I agree I don't go for the "other teams weren't targeting" line.....how exactly is it double standards wrt Leeds winning the treble?
Someone wins the LLS every year, when the 2018 season kicks off half of the teams involved will have won it in the last 6 years. A treble hadn't been done for a decade and might be that long or longer before it happens again. They are hardly comparable achievements, it'd be like saying Cas winning the LLS only is the same as if Cas win the LLS AND the GF, one scenario will be a greater achievement than the other. |
