| Quote: Phuzzy "I couldn't agree more with some of the sentiments posted in this thread. As I said last week, it's a sad state of affairs when a loss, especially to a close rival, can be shrugged off as not mattering. I suspect that whatever the result on Good Friday in the Wigan/Saints game one set of supporters or the other will be saying much the same thing. The current format is in desperate need of a overhaul before this apathy starts to translate into ticket sales, in particular season ticket sales. I'm of the opinion tht the RFL will react way too late on this one though. Hope I'm wrong...'"
I'm more worried that this attitude will start to permeate into the players let alone the fans.

| Don't forget being able to win it from anywhere has only been proven by Leeds.
As for the playoff conundrum, if heatherington can get the WCC sorted, I think this will solve the problem with top teams neglecting the league.
All Chairmen will want to make the WCC in the new format, so top 2 will once again become the golden standard, as anything outside the top 2 and you are leaving your place in the WCC down to the random chance of the playoff system.

| We we weren't at our best, but I think a bucket load of credit has to go to St Helens as they showed great tenacity and enthusuasm in defence and took their chances very well. It is turning out to be their biggest game of the season nowadays. No trophy for 5 years is turning local games against us and Wigan into huge affairs.

My thoughts exactly regarding their biggest game. They celebrated Fridays victory more than we did at Wembley.

They'll be lying.

Their biggest game! Sorry but can’t agree, and I doubt you’ll find many of ours, or theirs that would. Wire v Saints is a big mouth-watering event I’ll give you that, but it’s not the big daddy!

Which makes it all the more surprising what the reaction to winning it plainly was. Suppose perspective does change things.

The fans and players attitude betray your answer I'm afraid, Warry have started to win a trophy a year since 2008, Saints however haven't won a thing since 2008. That's no coincidence, Saints judge themselves by beating Warry, only a very good Saints performance beat a poor Warry one, and Silverwood allowing a slow play if the ball. It's not your year this year, maybe next year!

Wire away is a fantastic game to go to. Your stadium, especially now that the corners have been filled in, is terrific for atmosphere. There is also that history between the teams during superleague which means that a loss for Warrington is always just around the corner. So combine all that and you will have some delighted Saints fans when we beat you.
However, on Friday I would respectfully suggest that it was the way we played in our winning that sent the Saints fans into paroxysms of joy. This season so far we have looked dire to below average and we were starting to wonder when - or possibly if - we would click. On Friday we clicked. That alone was a cause for great celebrations among the Saints fans.

So essentially what you're saying is that yu would have reacted the same way had it been Salford away? Obviously you would only be speaking for yourself. I'm pretty sure the majority were getting giddy due to a win against your better, recently more succesful rivals.

| It was a good win over rivals by a team playing poorly, so was celebrated in the same way as we would have celebrated had we beaten Leeds last weekend and the same way you lot will celebrate if you win at Langtree.
But it's not even close to a Wigan game, let alone a cup final. Just a weekly round win over a very good side.

Mind you, some of the comments on here are quite good compared to the 'Warrington Casuals' group that frequents Facebook. I was considering joining it until I read some of the comments this morning. One or two on there are absolute pondlife.
