I was there for both, absolutely made up.

| I don't mind wire at all but picking up the hub cap means little if you lose on GF night! Sorry guys, congrats but you will feel sicker than a dog if you don't win GF night, especially if you lose to the pies or saints!

| well done on winning minor premiers, you deserved it after the long season. Rightly or wrongly you've now got to forget about it and attempt to win the grand final, because I echo Sgt. Wilkos post if you don't make the GF or lose in the GF the minor premiership will be pretty pointless. I hope to see you guys at Old Trafford!

| Its not pointless we all know its the lesser of the 3 on offer but its not pointless even if we don't win the Grand Final.
Best team over 27 rounds and the team everyone has to beat.
COME ON WIRE

Only started supporting in '73 and can't remember much about that apart from a long trip down to Wembley.

It's not pointless you are right! But will mean fook all if you don't win GF night. Please trust those who have been there. But I guess you might just have to live it to believe it

I said the same on the Wigan board last year. The LLS is a good trophy to win if your team have won it. But if you can't convert it at OT it's a gut-wrencher. Happened to us in 2000 and we didn't even have a Shield as consolation then.

| F**k all to some but not to those of us who were around when Wire was on the edge of going down and going out of business it means alot.
Am well aware of how losing in the Play-offs/Grand Final is a sick feeling

| Well done , it's a piece of silverware that acknowledges that you have finished top of the table, but as others have said it means nothing in the grand scheme of things , 5 times teams have finished top and then not won the GF, you don't see or hear of those teams being mentioned as champions..

| Genuine congrats. As I said last year, it means a lot in terms of achievement. Best team over the season. Simple as that. For me Play Offs a different comp, although I know technically it isn't. Well done and hope to see us both at OT for a beltin final. best two teams in league. Also, good to keep all silverware on right side of pennines. "Have you ever seen the wire win the league and Grand Final, have you ****." Not quite got the same ring.

You are correct but what this means to Warrington is that this is the first time in SL or modern day rugby that the Wire have been topped the league and with such a dominent attack and defence record. Although the biggie is the grand final it will always show in our records. I'm sure Tony Smith and the players know the task ahead.
From where we have come from over the last decade this is hopefully a stepping stone to the next level to where the Warrington Wolves aspire.

| To answer the question, no. You haven't won the league. The champions are crowned in October. Imagine what you felt last night and multiply it by about seven thousand. Once you win the Grand Final (This year or next IMO) you will mock the hub cap like everyone else does.
