Very disappointed because if we had played 10-15% better the game was there to be won. Apologies for the cliche

The long journey home commences sat in Manc airport and thoughts of my next live game on Boxing Day.......

I feel more disappointed today. It must be a delayed reaction. I've been thinking about how close we were to winning the big prize, it really was within our grasp if we had had one better 20 minute session of rugby. Just watching the end of game montage on Sky and thinking it could have been Adrian Morley lifting the Super League trophy, Briers and Westwood coming up to the fans with the trophy at the end and us double winners and assured of a place in history as one of the greatest.

You never know what will happen in the future and if we slide back down next season, players retire and TS leaves we may yet end up looking back at this moment as the closest we got to ever touching the SL title. For many years we looked back at the Jonathan Davies era and missing out on the title to Wigan on points difference as what might have been.

I guess all of us that are Wire fans these days have to be thankful to Simon Moran, Tony Smith and the great players that have worn our jersey, Briers, Morley, Westwood, the Monaghans, Hodgson, Carvell, Waterhouse, these guys have given us something we haven't had for years which is the chance to enjoy a quality set of players play good rugby and have great spirit and pride in the jersey. They have allowed us to have hope of winning the title. Next year will probably be the last chapter of this era of Wires so lets make the most of it and appreciate them and maybe they'll do it.

Maine Road challenge cup semi 1989. Nothing will ever come close........

Now i was just talking about this game, talking of tension at a game, this was the scariest game i've ever been too, i was 10 years old and remember being terrified after the game.

I'd agree with 90% of this. Except I thought Myler played one of his best matches in the P&B and was a constant threat down that left edge. He was our MOM in my opinion by some distance too.

Still gutted, just about to go back to work and it sucks that it can't be corrected til next season. Kicking game and discipline was off, I think both teams made too many errors. Unfortunately as we do, most of them came in our own half.

Congratulations to Leeds. Deserved champions.

Fully agreed, and that's why it's so painful for me.

The people complaining about trouble on Saturday night would have had kittens if they were at the '89 semi.

Family game though innit.

Not true fans.

Absolutely this AL2. I don't know when this 'hangover' is going to wear off, no sign of it abating just yet

Still very gutted but then again I'm only 15 and have been very selfish towards the team this past few day since they have lost. My Dad says that I am too harsh on them and I haven't seen the really bad teams.

I did watch them when they were crap about 10 years ao but didn't really understand what was going on.

I am 100% confident that we will win the the Grand Final next year. mark my word. Each year we keep going one better in the play-offs.

Also, how anyone can say that this Warrington team will not do well next year should be shot a dawn. The team they have there will not go the next 2-3 years without winning a grand final. The oldies will play 10-15 games next year so there will be no problems with the younger ones sliding in for the oldies to be fit and healthy for the business end. TS knows exactly what he is doing and if we think a new signing is needed then he will too.

past the stage of sulking cos the wire have lost an important game..good luck to leeds it was well deserved..one for those who need cheering up just remember what weve won since ts arrival

TS has done great things here but after winning 3 CC the only thing we really want now is the big one

You are so lucky, you are growing up with the best team Warrington has produced in decades. Like my 2 teenage sons, they have seen us win at Wembley 3 times, win a league leaders shield and go to a Grand Final in a matter of 4 years. Many of the older supporters have waited a long time to see a succesful team and during that time have watched some poor Warrington sides, although we have had good teams and been graced with some super players.

Just be patient

too bloody right that lydon drop goal,memories dont think youll ever see a sweetly hit drop goal again
