With the sadness of the result yesterday it's easy to forget this was still a good season for Warrington. CC Semifinalists and GF Runners up. This with a side which I believe was not as strong as the 2011 one. A season we would have dreamt of in 2008.

It will be fascinating to see how Smith re-builds his 2nd team. I think he will see this as job incomplete until he wins a GF with the Wire.

Congratulations to Wigan, well deserved win.

It's not a great season though, is it?

spot on if nothing else as you say Mr Smith has unfinished business so long may he reign.......

Good not great is a fairer grading

I agree for any club which considers it's self a "big club" like Wigan, St Helens, Leeds and Warrington a season is only considered great if they win silverware.

For a big club like warrington a CC semi is chicken feed, it's not worth a mention. Making the grand final is, but when you've not been champions for 58 years and you lost at old trafford last year, losing again this year isn't exactly something to crow about. It's winning the counts.

This season for warrington, overall has been dissapointing. They went into the season with one of the stronger squads in the competition and have failed to win anything.

Wires71 is right it has been a great season and Tony Smith and the Warrington players can be proud of themselves during this off season. Quite a few of the players have had tough spells when their individual form (or fitness) has not been what it was a year or two ago but they fought through it and they were in form in the business end of the season. We lost basically because of two unfortunate injuries in the Grand Final which left the balance of the team disrupted and when it comes to playing another top team with similar ability of players, pieces of luck like that will tip the balance one way or another.

I think this attitude from some fans of "if you don't win the trophy you've achieved nothing" is a bit odd to be honest. I wonder if these fans are super driven super high achievers in their own lives.....probably not. Probably they want to come out and watch Wire and drink beer every weekend and look for them to give them some reflected glory to bask in in their own lives, so they get angry when they don't win and want to impose these super high expectations.

I think most people with a competitive edge would feel dissapointed if they were competing for something they knew they had the ability to achieve, and only had a couple of serious rivals with their ability and they didn't achieve it.

I think its been a horrible season to be honest, but that's just my opinion.

Going on our form of recent years, it has been a poor season, but, in all honesty, quality wise, it's been a poor superleague.

It's that endemic attitude, prevalent at the Warrington club for so many years that still finds me reluctant to call them a "big club."

Nah we bottled it when we had 1 hand on the trophy.Wigan believed they could get back in that match + when they clawed it back to 16-12 we seemed disjointed + knackered + no belief but hey oh that's just my take on it.

It's been a poor season on many aspects. Two defeats by widnes a semi final defeat and now Gf lose. Plus low attendances the lack of signings at the start of season. Looking into next season you can't see it getting any better.

I expected much more from wire this season if im honest. Very poor to not come away with any silverware what so ever.

The season has lacked interest for me and has ultimately ended up in failure. None of the three trophies won.
