Quote: chunkyhugo "Sick of the garbage some Wire fans (yes, you Sally Cinnamon) are coming out with regarding the status of SL Champions. This is in no way knocking Huddersfield in winning the League Leaders Shield this season. You have been the most consistent team in the SL comp this season, end of story.
Does anyone really believe those Wire fans will still be proclaiming The Giants as the "true Champions" if Wire win the GF next week? Maybe Sally Cinnamon would like Tony Smith to chuck the SL trophy into the Mersey on Sunday morning (as it is only a minor piece of silverware...).'"
For some of us who watched rugby league before the Superleague started, the true champions are the ones who perform the best throughout the season and end up top of the league at the end of it.
I am one of those supporters and, win or lose next week, I will still regard Huddersfield as the true champions this year.
Of course we wouldn't throw the SL trophy into the Mersey, should we win it next week. Winning any trophy is a good for fans and club, of course it is, but it still doesn't match being the winners of the league, minus the knock out rounds, in my mind. This is my opinion
