Quote SPIRIT OF 74="SPIRIT OF 74"Yes we did win 1 of the 2 major trophies but people on here think it means we are up with the likes of Leeds and Saints and we are nowhere near it our form in SL was nothing short of dire and if people were honest they would have been calling for Smiths head if we had lost in the cc final(which was a great achievement in winning it), but now is the time to be realistic and asses our SL campaign which was totally unacceptable imo champions are the team that win the league and grand final together all we have done is win 5 games in a row of which 2 were against lower division teams so it was like winning 3 SL games and getting a trophy,yes I am over the moon we won it yes i am extremely proud we won it , No I wont carry on blowing smoke up our own ass about it after next saturday it will be what happened last season and it is time to improve from now on in Super League and turn into the best TEAM in SL anything else will be failure in my eyes.
Lets not forget how many on here called the Challenge cup the mickey mouse cup not too long ago'"
Which is just what Leeds or Saints will do on Saturday...........Leeds having got to the Grand Final by beating the teams that finished 4th in the league and 8th in the league both with home advantage...........Regardless of how well they've done through the season that's the task that is set before them at the start of the play offs!!
Warringtons task in lifting the CC was first to beat 2 lesser teams and then to beat the teams that finished 4th 6th and 3rd in the Super League all away from home!
As you say after next Saturday it is time to look forward to next season. This seasons major trophy winners will be Warrington and either Leeds or Saints.............a few teams will get a well done pat on the back for finishing in the top 8............and by the start of next season most people won't be able to remember who finished in the top 8
As for being up their with Saints and Leeds well come Sunday we'll have won more trophies this year than one of them and the same number as the other!
You have your opinions and expectations others have their own.
Me.......I'm looking forward to next season under TS...............and I'm just off to blow some more smoke up me own ass!!
