| A question a Quins fan asked me on Monday - would we be content with just winning the League Leaders Shield for this season? And by product - what would we deem a 'successful' year?
Personally - win/lose the Shield, it would be a bitter pill to swallow if we didn't make the Grand Final.
Therefore my definition of a successful season would be to win the League Leader's Shield and to at least make the Grand Final. (Hopefully Win)  |

Win the LLS and the Grand Final.

Winning the Grand Final would be amazing. But, personally, I'm more bothered about the LLS. We have never done it in Super League and never in my lifetime. I followed the Wire from 1990/91 season to 2002, then my teenage years took over and I moved about a lot so didn't follow Rugby anymore. I just got back into it this Season. I was there in 1996 (I think?) when Warrington lost the league against Wigan at Wilderspool in what was, quite literally, the last kick of the season. That is why I put more stock into the LLS.

I'm with wire78. Aim for both but winning 1 would be a successful season for me. |

| Ideal - Win LLS
Beat Pies or Stains to win GF
Likely - Win LLS
Happy with - Doubling over Pies and Stains in Superleague, and being there to watch each and every minute  |

| I want to say LLS and an 'appearance' at Old Trafford. However, if we're all honest enough, surely we can agree that getting to the main stage and not taking the prize would feel a little deflating? Especially with the season we've had so far.
I think an equally important question would be, should we win SL this year, can it get much better? After years of tripe I'd probably have to retire - safe in the knowledge that I saw a great Wire side and that it could never be improved!  |

Never be improved!?

That would be something wouldn't it!
As for never improved, I meant more in terms of how much i've enjoyed watching us this season on a personal level.
The balance in playing personnel is pretty much perfect as far as i'm concerned and I've loved 99% of it.

LLS is the very minimum expectation really!

Yeah, theres no doubt we will be a top side for a while as we have all the required foundations in place. But for any given team to dominate would be a massive, massive ask, particularly for a sustained period of time.
If we won LLS and Grand Final this year, particularly with the style of rugby we have played, then it would take some topping for me. |
