Sat on coach in traffic with the horrible feeling of losing a final for the 1st time in 3 years + it ain't nice but well done Leeds for doing the business.Best team won.

Imagine doing it five times in a row.

Chin up though, you should be proud of the club's achievements this season and this ground breaking trip to the Grand Final won't be your last. In Australia they used to say you have to lose one to win one. Warrington will return wiser and more streetwise next year.

Oh dear Best wishes etc..

Hasn't worked out for saints though has it in recent times.

Although with tony Smith in charge I tend to agree with you can see wire getting back to old Trafford and going one better next year.
Cracking coach and summed up the positive side of our sport with how he spoke after the game and congratulating the Leeds players.

Hard lines tonight. Was a good game could have gone either way

We have enough personal trainer's in our team, couldn't one of them give Briers some motivation in the gym so he wasn't a complete liability in defense... Ablett try was his fault for initially giving away a penalty, with lazy attempt at tackle, and then not being able to slow ablett down whatsoever... And Joel didn't trust briers to tackle ablett fo have hall space to score... Nevermind that he seems to.lack the fitness to get back the ten half the time.

Yeah and still lose to the Rhinos. Coming back wiser and more streetwise sure helped the Saints this last 5 years!

Thanks mate

We were the architects of our own down fall - dropped the ball too much & too many penalties. Agree that the best team won

Much as it pains me to say it, I don't think any Wire fan can seriously argue against the fact that the better team won tonight.
Let's hope we get back there next year.

Try being e and bottom of the league,,,,, then you can be gutted! Unlucky tonight

Despite losing 5 on the trot, we have managed to be superleague champion 5 times as well. So its not always been doom and gloom, we have a successful superleague history, whilst most teams like yourselves don't have anything to savour.

tbh, not as gutted as I thought Iwould be. Maybe when the loss sinks in and think of what it would have meant being champions for the year, playing the World club challenge and doing the double etc. As the game went on and we were forcing passes, knock ons, all the penalties conceded especially on our line I thought it wasn't going to be our night. Leeds played really well and at times played the offload game like we have become known for.

Alright we can't win every final we are in, we have won the last three, all the good teams since super league began can't win them all, ie. Leeds, Bulls, Saints and Wigan. The players will be down for a while but we have been there now and experienced the final, not the result we wanted but it is another milestone for our team.

Overall a good season, winning the cup again and coming second and runners up in the GF, a few years ago we could only dream of being in that position.

really good post

Well said - disappointed, but couldn't agree more

Gutted.........sums it up
Thought this was our year.
The team will be too old next year.

Was Westwood fit?

Joel has gotta be Australia's slowest 3/4.

What really p------ me off is the Game needed us to win

Champions from 5th..... Sorry Yorkshire but its a joke.

Did n't fancy our chances against Melbourne anyway.

Here's to next year and a season of meaningless weekly rounds.

We'll we are back to back champions (again) and the most successful team ever in Super League so we sort of do!
