Yet again The Mighty Wire miss out on end of season awards,last Year we won the Challange cup 2009,this year we retain the Challenge cup successfully against the Current Super league champions Leeds( we destroyed them at Wembley) and no recognition to Tony Smith Success as warrington coach

2009 Hudderfield Team of year, coach of the year, Brett Hodgson Man of Steel.(hudderfield reach Play off) Warrington Win Challenge Cup first time in 35years) What did Huddersfield Do Nothing

2010 Wigan Team of the Year, coach of the year. Pat Richards Man of Steel(Wigan win first league title in so many seasons & reach the grand final) good achievement by Wigan.


What do we as a club have to do?

your thoughts please?

Whos Pat Richardson?

And where's Huddersfield? Quite simple really as you appear to have answered your own question. We need to do what Wigan have done this year, finish top of SL and then win some play-off games.

Three play off defeats isn't really going to catch the eye when it comes to the end of season awards, these awards are based around super league as the main award is called the "Engage Super League Man of Steel", i take it all the other awards like the team of the year are called the "Engage Super League team of the year".

We've had a fantastic season by winning back to back challenge cups, 3rd in the league is also massive improvement but we fell apart at the business end of the super league competition in the play offs where we didn't win a single game and lost 3.

I'd say that Wigan are worthy winners if the awards are all based around super league like they seem to be.

Dont want any recognition thank you,

we've been to Wembley two years on the bounce and won it both times,personally Ive had a thouroughly fantastic time on each occasion.

This year Chris Hicks got a challenge cup final hatrick a feat which Martin Offiah and Kevin Iro couldnt manage, and Lee Briers won a Lance Todd trophy, even Shaun Edwards hasnt got one of those.... would both players swap those achievements for a Man of Steel award or a team of the year award ? not a chance

weve gone from finishing 10th to battling it out for 2nd up to the last game of the season with the most succesful ever superleague team. its been a tremendous season.

why would I want some fat sweaty oik at the RFL saying eeh by eck lads that Warry'n'un ave done reet well weed better tell um...

no thanks I know its been a great season

spot on Rob, I love the Way Sky pretend that one of the biggest sporting events of the year just hasnt really happened.

if it doesnt involve flogging a HD channel or a subscription package of some kind there's almost zero interest in it.

Its Been an excellent season for the Wire. without taking anything away from wigan who have done well this year, credit to the coaching staff for turning them around, but what exactly did huddersfield do last year to gain those acolades?

Beaten finalists & Playoffs?

Cant complain about the awards last night , wigan have deserved them all this season , we've had a great season and hopefully next year we will win them all!

I aint bothered about the awards. Just hope wire keep winning and im dreaming of a 3rd trip to wembley.

The most important team award of the year in my eyes is the one where us as fans acknowledge that its been a great season for Warrington, like you said above that kind of acknowledgement is worth far more than the RFL telling us what a great season its been or it hasn't been.

I'll take improvement each year and thats what we have achieved over the last few seasons, being involved in a major final is an unbelievable experience from the second you step out of the front door and head down to wembley to the second you arrive back, and thats win, lose or draw.

Just to see that your team is capable of making a major final is enough for me in that we can compete for all the major honours, i never thought i would ever say that as a warrington fan which just shows how far we have come.

Because in fairness the Challenge Cup has nothing to do with sky.

In the premier league do they take the cups into account when they give out the end of season awards, no. It's a different competition.

Which of those awards would have been more deserving to go to a wire player?

Coach of the year maybe, but I think the better explanation would be that you massively underachieved in the league last year (as shown by how well you did in the cup). Maguire has come in and from the word go (with the same squad) turned us from a mid-playoff side to a top of the league team.

I think Maguire's lack of experience as a head coach has made his achievements at Wigan stand out a bit more in fairness.

3 players in the Dream Team and a whole bunch in the Ingerlund train-on Squad isn't too shabby.

Not bad at all, I think everyone recognises the massive improvement from Wire this year.

You also had a player in the top 3 for MoS.

I think the fact Maguires done it with exactly the same squad, that on paper still isn't as strong as the other top imo.

I really can't wait for next year already, Saints, Wigan and yourselves have all improved on paper and are all very evenly matched.

No complaints and well deserved by Wigan.

They've developed well after a poor few seasons, and were by far the most consistent side this season, winning the league leader's shield by a clear margin.

Would like to think we could emulate them next year and beyond.

I have no complaints.

Pat Richards has scored a shed load of points and played well consistently all season.
Wigan have finished top, and again been very consistent.
Maguire is in his first season over here and inherited a squad that finished well off the top last year. Did he add to the squad? I don't think so. (happy to be corrected on that one).
