| It's getting more and more like the NRL now. You really can't call who is going to win it next season. For the first time in Super League history we have a relatively open competition. Leeds, Wigan, Wire and Saints could all win it. It's been a while since four teams could genuinely say that.

Did you get rid of all the voices in your head? Do you now miss them and the things that they said?: |

Yeah, when Burns isn't banned

For a so-called Saints fan, you seem to spend a lot of time brown-nosing Warrington...

| What's all this '2009' and 'the last 6 seasons' that keeps cropping up in posts from Warrington fans?
Why do Dire Wolf supporters think RL only began then?

..... You were the one who started poking fun claiming that Wire were some sort of experts in failure - The recent success pointed out, simply shows how much of a nob you are.
As for our supporters only thinking RL began in 2009, then go check out the game's biggest ever crowd - It seems plenty of Wire knew the game was about back then??

You will be in the mix for sure. You can't read into anything regards the title win this year though and the incredible fortune you had to win it.im happy for you suffering fans by the way, but it was the stars aligning and nothing else really,any other year you wouldn't have even got to OT with that team as it was.

Have to agree - Was made up for my Saints-supporting friends, as they have suffered more than most over recent years, but, in truth, no team will have a easier route to picking up the Super League title.
Firstly, a Cas side which had shot its bolt in the middle of August, a Catalans side which was absolutely knackered from their previous exertions, and then when they finally have to meet a side which was match ready and in form, they have the massive fortune of Wigan playing a man short for the majority of the game.
Yes, their name is on the trophy and you can't ever take that from them, but they will fail to win Super League titles with much better sides than the one which beat Wigan.

| Apart from Wire I cant see it, Cas were ultimately a long way off being a champion side this year and so have Hudds been in recent years, competing in the regular season, even beating the big boys, diesnt mean you have a team capable of doing it in finals football. Maybe Catalans, but they're so enigmatic that I cant really see them doing it any time soon.

Isn't that precisely the reward for being the most consistent team throughout the weekly rounds? Not lucky, just finding a way to win (albeit against the odds)
In the new system it'd of been Castleford than Wigan, which is probably easier that Castleford, Catalans and then Wigan

Saints deserved it and I have no problem with it. I was simply pointing out, as the previous poster alluded to, that the cards fell heavily in Saints' favour during the play-offs and finishing top had little to do with it.
Leading into the play-offs, even Saints' fans were pretty down on their own chances and I think even now, most of them will still be wondering how on earth a side so short of its vital elements managed to come out on top... I think most will agree that it took a bit of self-implosion on the part of other sides that contributed?

If Todd Carney keeps himself out of mischief I would throw Catalans in there too.

ALL WIGAN SUPPORTERS MUST
1. Wigan must not win a hard fought struggle in appalling conditions, nilling the opposition and scoring 16 points, because that makes for the worst CC Final of all time.
2. Wigan must not get to the final by nilling the opposition and scoring 70 points with a display of attacking rugby because that makes for the worst CC Semi Final of all time.
3. Wigan players must not consider winning the game but devote all their efforts to entertaining neutral fans. Just like all the other teams do...
4. Wigan fans must not mention winning the CC Final, as that is arrogant.
5. Wigan fans must not mention winning the Challenge Cup 19 times, or indeed any other Trophies, as that is very arrogant indeed.
6. Wigan fans must not attend actual games. It is now compulsory to stay at home, watch on TV and moan about how low attendances at games are.: |
|
| Wire would be my shout for the next name on the trophy. As realistically it would take about five years of building, Cas for example of last season need o be firstly getting to the upper echelons of the league table , then getting to the semi finals, then getting to the GF (first one probably losing if not more) than finally winning. Whether the new format allows this sort of building we will have to ait and see.

Funny, I've been supporting Wire for forty years and I've never met one of the these 'over confident loud-mouth fans'. Can we be reasonably confident of winning most games we play these days? Hardly outrageous to believe so. I can count on the fingers of one hand just how many times a Wire fan has posted about the 'year of the wolf'. In fact, it is opposition fans who keep coming up with it, not Wire. A bit like the 'barking' that still comes along with Joel Monaghan tries. Anyway, like Dita, much as I'd love a GF win, it would be churlish in the extreme as a Wire fan not to be content with things as they are now.
