This one sentence sums up everything we have all felt and feel about next year.

Not going watch it again for a few months

But hindsight and all that I wish Briers had started banging drops over like at Wigan few years back

it was painful to watch!!!!!!!!!!! all it did for me was, (no offence to leeds, ) make me realise what i thought when i was watching the game at the hj on fri ,we lost the game rather than they won it!like i say,no offence to leeds, and no bad loser comment!just hard to take the manner of our defeat after the brilliant way we played all season,our fans and players really deserved a better end to our great season!still,we DID WIN the super league! and score the most points and conceeded less tries than any other team in the league, so it cant be all bad roll on nxt season !

LOL. Not quite. Maybe next year.

Not watched it back and never will, filed under

Do not open ever, along with a few Saints games and the Hull playoff game

not going over that topic again!

You had to work? I don't want to get into a childish pishing contest, or my dad's bigger than yours, but you scored three tries of the referees errors. That's hardly having to work.

Warrington are a great team and a great club, so not trying to bag them, just stating the actual.

The most interesting point for me was Smith's interview after the game. He stated that they needed the week off the week before, and that he had busted players playing, that perhaps he shouldn't have played a couple. This follows on from the recent extracts from Keith Seniors Autobiography regarding the 2005 challenge cup final, where in his book he alludes to the fact he was put under pressure from Smith to say he was ok to play, even though the medical staff said no. This could be a weakness of Tony Smith of pushing his big name players too far.

Wire did not win SL as that honour goes to the winner of the GF. However, the hub cap is very definitely worth winning in its own right - finishing top does mean a great deal. To be clear, Wire can't claim to be champions but can claim to have been the best team over 27 rounds of the comp.

He's left anyone out this season who hasn't been fit. When we're at the stage of the season where it might be necessary to take a chance on someone. As regards 'The World according to Keefe,' all I'll say is that sensationalism sells and there is such a thing as poetic licence.

He also left players out at Leeds when not fit throughout the season. But when it really mattered he took the risk, despite his medical team telling him no.

--yawns-- like i said,not going over that topic again

You're not getting me, or are you believing everything Keith Senior says?

There's 2 ways of looking at the '18' points we 'gave away'.

1. Grix pass - definately a bit risky - but those sort of passes have been coming off throughout the year. Was Atkins standing too wide, had Hall come in, was the pass too weak?
2. Grix grab on Rob Burrow - Rob Burrow doing what Rob Burrow does best
3. Bridge poor tackle on Webb, or a good step by Webb wrong footing Bridge?

We weren't at our best but fair play to Leeds. They played their part too and stepped up a gear. Unfortunately we went done one.

King was fantastic for us and Riley had a very good game.
It didn't seem like the forwards dominated like they have done previously.

I think it is amazing how much Riley has improved. With a bit of space he looks threatening all the day. His defence however is still a weakness. That missed tackle first half was awful, worse than Bridge's. Though I don't recall any Warrington play missing a tackle so easily as Bridge. Disappointing

Grix was at fault from Burrow break, but Burrow is class. Atrkins could have covered better once it was clear that Grix had been done.

I think in hindsight Westwood shouldn't have played. He wasn't fully fit, and I think that has a negative effect on the rest of the players.

As good as Smith is he still needs to resolve our defensive issues at the ruck area. Our rivals are superior in that area. It cost us on friday, and it cost us in the quarter finals of the cup.

How did we score 3 tries off ref errors? D
